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.

Day 2

Drive to Central Serengeti National Park

Drive to Central Serengeti National Park

After breakfast from your lodge, travel through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Karatu's stunning, high-lying farmland on your way to the Central Serengeti National Park. The highlands are left behind as we make our way down into the Central 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 central 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 to evening game drive in the Central Serengeti National Park begins when we get there in time for lunch. We'll spend the night at either Nyani or Tumbili Campsite for dinner and overnight. All the campsites provide clean and neat washrooms which maintained by Tanzania National Park.

Main Destination:

Best Time To Visit January to February and June to October (Different areas are best at different times)

Game Drive in Ngorongoro Crater, End trip in Arusha/KIA

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 evening.
