Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park
You'll be picked up from your hotel at 8 am and start a beautiful journey across the Great Rift Valley for a full-day game drive. Although small in dimension (205 sq miles), the park has breathtaking scenery and is well famous for its lush acacia forest, giant figs, and baobab tree. Permanent residents of this park include giraffes, elephants, impalas, and a huge population of elephants and buffaloes. The landscapes of Tarangire are something that can not be described with words, and the game drives along the lake provide stunning photo opportunities of giraffes and buffaloes in the foreground. In the afternoon, you'll return to the camp for dinner.
Note: You can replace this park with Lake Manyara National Park, or add an extra day and visit both.

Day 2
Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
After an early breakfast, depart towards the most famous national park in the world, the Serengeti. The driving itself, although long, is spectacular. This will be an unforgettable moment for anyone seeing it for the first time. As you progress well into the Serengeti, you will see why the name means, in a local language, "endless plains". The park has 6,900 sq miles (18,000 sq kilometers), and for most of it, the plains will stretch to the horizon, defying your senses and perception of distances. It is the home of the great migration and to 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and all kinds of antelopes. As for the big cats and large predators, it's the place of choice to look out for lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas. There are many television scenes like the famous River Crossings that have been filmed in this park.

Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater
Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater
On this day, we suggest a very early wake-up call to do an early morning game drive (when the animals are more active) and see one of the best sunrises you'll ever witness. After the game drive, we will return to the camp for a rewarding brunch and then we'll proceed to Ngorongoro, the 8th Wonder of the Natural World. The crater spreads for 102 sq miles and has 2,000-ft high walls, making it virtually Noah's ark and inhabiting almost every species of wildlife that is indigenous to East Africa. It's one of the very rare locations on the continent where you can witness the black rhino. The crater has a river, several swamps, a soda lake with a great concentration of flamingos, a forest, and open plains. It's also famous for its elephants which, are the largest in the world and have huge tusks. Ngorongoro Crater is truly a Wonder of the Natural World. You will reach Ngorongoro in time for a sundowner.
