Day 1
Arusha – Tarangire National Park
Arusha – Tarangire National Park
In the morning, you will be picked up from your hotel to start your safari to the Tarangire National Park. Bush savannah, seasonal swamps, and giant baobab trees make up the landscape of this nature reserve. This park is probably one of the best places in East Africa to see elephants. They are found in thousands and seem more accustomed to vehicles so you can get closer to these gigantic animals. It is not only the elephants, but the varied number of animals such as Maasai giraffes, various gazelles, antelopes, buffaloes, lions, leopards, baboons, and the more than 500 types of birds that make this the one-stop solution for both bird and animal lovers.
After the game drive, you will leave the park in the late afternoon and drive to the lodge for your overnight stay.

Day 2
Tarangire - Serengeti National Park
Tarangire - Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, we head towards the Serengeti National Park via the beautiful high-lying farmland of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Leaving the highlands behind, we descend into the heart of wild Africa – the Serengeti National Park – with its endless plains rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see. We head to the Central park area, known as the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park. It features the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti’s species.
We arrive in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in the Serengeti National Park. After your tour around the park, you will be transferred to your lodge where you will spend the night.

Day 3
Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
Following breakfast, you will spend the whole day on a game drive in the Serengeti National Park and have lunch at a picnic spot en route. Depending on the time of year, you might even have the chance to witness the great migration with hundreds of thousands of wildebeests, zebras, and Thompson's gazelles. During the short rainy season in October and November, you will typically see these herds moving from the Kenyan Masai Mara through the northwest of the Serengeti to the plains in the south. After the longer rainy season in April, May, and June, the herds slowly travel back through the western and northwestern parts of the Serengeti. With fluctuations in rainfall, this timetable can change, resulting in the animals migrating during different times and routes. Your guide will try his utmost to find the animals and will make sure that you can see them from the best spot in the national park.

After an early breakfast, you will drive down the steep and narrow road that takes you into the crater. The slopes are forested, but soon, the landscape changes to savannah. Here, the wildlife is just breathtaking, and with a little luck, you can observe the Big Five – lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and leopard – in just a few hours. You should also see warthogs, wildebeests, zebras, hippos and some of the more than 500 bird species in the area.
After a morning dedicated to game viewing and a picnic lunch, you will leave the crater in the early afternoon to drive back to Moshi, where you will arrive in the early evening.
