Day 1
Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park
In the morning, our personal safari guide will pick you up from your hotel in Arusha. We’ll then cover about 120km (roughly 2 hours) en route to Tarangire National Park. Tarangire is well known for its large elephant herds and a multitude of other creatures. We’ll experience the seasonal swamps, savannah, and life-giving Tarangire River that act as the magnet for animals during the Dry season. We will strive to encounter as many animals as possible, including zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, elephant, and giraffe, to name a few. We may also glimpse lions and leopards.
Our professional guide will choose a suitable picnic spot where you can have a delicious lunch before we finish the game drive until sunset. In the evening, you will be transferred to one of our carefully selected hotel partners for dinner and your overnight stay.

Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
See the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater before traveling to Serengeti National Park, which you will reach by afternoon. Our professional guide will pick a good time for lunch and some wine amidst the scenery. Serengeti National Park is known for its healthy stock of resident wildlife, particularly the "Big Five," which are so named because they are the 5 most prized animal trophies sought after by hunters. The Serengeti is believed to hold the largest population of lions in Africa (roughly 3,000) due to the abundance of prey that lives here. The African leopard, a reclusive predator, is commonly seen in the Seronera region but is present throughout the park. Its population is estimated to be about 1,000.
After the game drive, you will head to your accommodation for dinner and your overnight stay.

In the crater, there is a high possibility of spotting all of the “Big Five” (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino), depending on the day. During the afternoon, you will be served lunch and then go on an afternoon game drive until our allotted time runs out. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the campsite.
