Day 1

Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park

You'll set out for a full-day game drive to Tarangire National Park after an early breakfast, with a picnic lunch packed for the journey. Renowned for its captivating scenes of herds, Tarangire often hosts up to 300 elephants navigating through the dry riverbeds in search of alternative water sources.

Moreover, nomadic wildebeest, zebras, buffalos, impalas, gazelles, hartebeests, and elands converge around the dwindling lagoons. Notably, the park serves as a sanctuary for migratory animals during the dry season and a welcoming refuge for elephants.

In the evening, you will indulge in dinner and spend the night at Eileen's Trees Inn Lodge.

Lake Manyara National Park

Lake Manyara National Park

After your morning meal, you will depart from the lodge at 8:30 am, bound for Lake Manyara National Park, equipped with a packed hot lunch. A full day of game driving awaits, followed by an onward journey to Eileen's Trees Inn for dinner and overnight accommodations. Stretching along the base of the striking 600-meter-high Rift Valley escarpment for 50 kilometers, Lake Manyara is a picturesque gem.

The condensed wildlife-viewing route within Lake Manyara offers a concise rendition of the Tanzanian safari experience. Beginning at the entrance gate, the road meanders through a lush forest of groundwater vegetation. Here, sizable troops of baboons leisurely lounge by the roadside, nimble blue monkeys dart between ancient mahogany trees, delicate bushbucks tread cautiously through the shadows, and large forest hornbills create a lively cacophony in the lofty canopy.

Day 3

Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park

After your morning meal, you will proceed to Serengeti National Park for an extensive day of game driving, complete with a picnic lunch.

Within this park, you will marvel at the extraordinary spectacle of a million wildebeest, each driven by the same ancient rhythm, fulfilling their instinctual roles within the inevitable cycle of life. You'll witness their frenzied three-week cycle of territorial conquests and mating, a true testament to the survival of the fittest.

This intense ritual leads them to traverse crocodile-infested waters in 40km (25 miles) long columns during their annual northern migration. Following a brief surge in population that sees over 8,000 calves born daily, the 1,000 km (600 mile) pilgrimage begins anew.
