Tarangire National Park
The origin of Tarangire National Park Its name comes from the Tarangire River that meanders through the park. There is no other water source in the area for the wildlife during the dry season except this "river of warthogs." Acacia woodlands and elephant grass are among the areas with incredibly dense vegetation. The park's most well-known feature is its families of elephants, which can frequently be seen congregating by the river. There may be sightings of hartebeests, giraffes, and bushbucks. Numerous predators, including cheetahs, leopards, and lions, hunt these animals in close proximity. More breeding species of birds than any other place on Earth can be found in Tarangire National Park. This is where Tanzania's largest elephant population is found.

Tarangire to Serengeti
After breakfast, travel through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Karatu's stunning, high-lying farmland on your way to the Serengeti National Park. The highlands are left behind as we make our way down into the Serengeti National Park, the heart of wild Africa, where the endless plains stretch out into the distance in all directions. We next travel to the Seronera area, which is located in the middle of the park and is home to some of the most abundant wildlife habitats. It has the Seronera River, which draws in animals that comprise the majority of the Serengeti's species and offers this region a vital supply of water.
Our afternoon game drive in the Serengeti National Park begins when we get there in time for lunch. We'll spend the night at the Seronera Campsite for dinner.

Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha
After an early breakfast, you will descend over 600 meters into the crater to view wildlife. Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area supports various animals, including herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephant. Another big drawcard to this picturesque national park is its dense predator population, including lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot.
We will visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, which is one of the main features of the crater. Many flamingos, hippos, and other waterbirds are usually seen here. We will transfer you to Arusha for drop-off at the airport in the late afternoon.
