2 travelers on Start dateArusha to Tarangire National Park
Today, your safari guide will pick you up from Arusha (pickup point to be advised) and drive you to Tarangire National Park. As you journey through the Maasai plains with scattered acacia trees, you'll see many Maasai in their colorful attire grazing cattle, riding bicycles, and donkey carts.
Upon arrival at Tarangire National Park, you'll embark on a game drive. Spanning almost 3,000 sq km, Tarangire is renowned for its large elephant herds and iconic baobab trees. The park is named after the Tarangire River, which flows through it. During the dry season (June - November), the wildlife concentration here rivals that of the Serengeti, as animals are drawn to the river, the only water source. Tarangire is home to over 2,000 elephants and 500 bird species.
Your overnight stay will be at Lake Manyara Serena Lodge.

Your overnight stay will be at Ngorongoro Serena Lodge.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be provided. Soft drinks will be provided every day per person.
There are several documented resident lion prides just within a one-hour game drive radius from Seronera. During the dry season, the resident pride begins to shift west and north in their territories and concentrate in the central region of the park. The dry season is a perfect time for lion viewing in Central Serengeti. The Central Serengeti is also one of the best areas in Africa to spot the elusive leopards. You may be lucky enough to encounter this majestic cat in the branches of the sausage trees that dot the banks of the Seronera River.

Often called the Eighth Natural Wonder of the World, the Ngorongoro Crater is the largest intact crater in the world. About 2 million years ago the Ngorongoro volcano erupted, and its walls collapsed. The volcano floor sank to create a natural enclosure with 600m tall walls. Now, at over 19 kilometers wide, Ngorongoro Crater is filled with great areas of acacia forest, hippo-filled swamps, and open grasslands. These different habitats contain over 30,000 animals —including elephants, warthogs, flamingoes, magnificent birdlife, the rare black rhinoceros, and all the predatory cats. The Maasai can also be seen grazing their cattle alongside the buffalos and wildebeests.
