Day 1

Arusha city to Tarangire National Park

Arusha city to Tarangire National Park

After a safari briefing in the morning and an approximately two-hour drive, you will arrive at Tarangire National Park. Giant baobab trees, bush savannah, and seasonal marshes add to the wonder of this nature reserve. Tarangire is considered one of the best places to view elephants up close. The park is also home to buffaloes, zebras, and wildebeests, which are always closely followed by a range of predators such as lions. Leopards are seen now and then but cheetahs are rarely spotted here. From the open roof of the safari jeep, you will be able to absorb the landscape and watch the animals.

Main Destination:
Tarangire National Park
Best Time To Visit July to November (Animals come to the Tarangire River)
High Season June to October (The park is full of visitors)

Day 2

Karatu to Serengeti National Park

Karatu to Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, you will travel pass the Ngorongoro highland to Serengeti. You’ll reach the plains of Serengeti National Park by midday. This park is the largest in Tanzania and has a diversity of habitats and landscapes—short grass plains, savannah, thick bush, swamps, and lakes.

Serengeti is a park located in Northern Tanzania and is a World Heritage Site. It occupies an area of around 15,000 sq km with over 2 million herbivores, 4,000 lions, 1,000 leopards, 550 cheetahs, and some 500 bird species. This area is filled with massive herds of migratory wildebeest and zebra during the dry season. However, the Northern Serengeti also supports an abundance of resident wildlife including lion, elephant, hippo, giraffe, crocodile, and the rare oribi antelope.

Main Destination:

Best Time To Visit January to February and June to October (Different areas are best at different times)

Day 3

Serengeti to Ngorongoro Highland

Serengeti to Ngorongoro Highland

After breakfast, proceed with a morning game drive in Serengeti National Park. With the help of your guide, you will proceed to explore the Serengeti plains searching for Africa’s Big Five animals. At around 12h30, you will have lunch and then proceed with the afternoon game drive in the park.

The Serengeti offers some of the best wildlife viewings in Africa. All the major safari animals occur in great numbers. Cheetah and four of the Big 5 are easily seen. Aside from the big cats, many other predators can be spotted including spotted hyena (especially in the morning), jackal and bat-eared fox.

Main Destination:

Day 4

Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro Crater

After an early breakfast, you will descend over 600 meters into the crater to view wildlife. Supported by a year-round water and food supply, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is home to a vast array of animals, including herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque national park are its predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard—which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot.

Best Time To Visit June to October (Wildlife viewing is best)
