After early breakfast, proceed for a full-day game drive at Tarangire National Park with picnic lunches. Dinner and your overnight stay are at Serengeti wild camp.
It’s the national park where herds of up to 300 elephants scrape the waterless river bed for alternative streams, while nomadic wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, impala, gazelle, hartebeest and eland mass the decrease lagoons. It has the most concentration of wildlife outside the Serengeti ecosystem—a smorgasbord for predators—and one place in Tanzania where dry-country antelope such as the stately fringe-eared oryx and peculiar long-necked gerenuk are regularly seen. It is the only national park that holds migrants during the dry season and provides a welcoming home to different species of animals.
