Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park

After breakfast, you’ll set off early for Tarangire National Park, named after the Tarangire River, which flows through the park. During the dry season, this “river of warthogs” becomes the only water source for local wildlife. The park features areas of dense vegetation, including groundwater forests, acacia woodlands, and elephant grass.
The highlight of Tarangire is its elephant families, often seen gathering near the river. You may also spot giraffes, bushbucks, and hartebeests, while predators like lions and leopards watch closely. Remarkably, Tarangire National Park boasts the highest number of breeding bird species of any location on Earth!

Day 4

Northern Serengeti Natinional Park

Northern Serengeti Natinional Park

After breakfast, you'll embark on an early morning journey to the northern Serengeti. This pristine region features expansive grassy plains, massive granite outcrops, and rolling hills adorned with trees. The Northern Serengeti offers a chance to escape the crowds, as it is more remote and less frequently visited than other areas of the park, situated between Kenya's Masai Mara National Reserve to the north and the Central Serengeti.

Traveling to this part of the Serengeti rewards you with stunning views of lush green hills, granite formations, and acacia woodlands scattered across the open savannah. This area is renowned for its abundant wildlife, particularly the large herds of zebras and wildebeests that navigate the crocodile-infested Mara River during the Great Migration in June and July, and again in September, October, and November. You'll spend the evening and the following day at your carefully selected lodge.

Main Destination:
Northern Serengeti National Park
Best Time To Visit January to February and June to October (Different areas are best at different times)
High Season July to March (The Seronera area is crowded)
Best Weather June to October (Little to no rainfall)

Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater

After breakfast, you'll set off early for a drive within Serengeti National Park before heading to Ngorongoro Crater. Upon your arrival, the crater reveals itself like a forgotten world, with steep volcanic walls concealing a pristine wilderness of shimmering lakes, swamps, acacia woodlands, and expansive savannahs. Formed two to three million years ago by a massive volcanic eruption, the crater offers a unique landscape.

Once you descend to the crater floor, you'll find yourself surrounded by an abundance of wildlife, including wildebeests, zebras, gazelles, and over 500 bird species. The drive into the crater is an adventure in itself, and this remarkable area is one of the best places to spot the critically endangered black rhino, which can occasionally be seen grazing in the open grasslands.
