Arusha to Tarangire National Park

After an early breakfast, you'll proceed for a full-day game drive at Tarangire National Park with picnic lunches. Your dinner and your overnight stay will be 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.

Main Destination:

Best Time To Visit July to November (Animals come to the Tarangire River)

Tarangire National Park to Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, you will continue towards the fertile highlands where wheat, coffee, and corn are grown by the Iraqi people. You'll pass through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a crater of unimaginable beauty created some three million years ago with the explosion of a volcano. You will be able to see the breathtaking expanse of the Ngorongoro Caldera before traveling onwards to the Serengeti National Park. Serenget means 'endless plain' in Maa, the tongue of the Maasai. You will reach Serengeti by late evening. The Serengeti National Park is the largest in Tanzania with diverse landscapes and habitats, such as grassy plains, swamps, lakes, savannahs, and mountains. Here, the biggest wildebeest and zebra migration takes place. Depending on the season, you may have the opportunity to witness thousands of animals in their search for food and water.
After an extensive game drive, you will drive to Serengeti wild cap where you will enjoy dinner and an overnight stay.

The animals roam freely through the unfenced reserves, offering you an uninterrupted wildife-viewing experience. Arriving at the edge of the crater, you will have your first glimpse of what awaits you the following day—glistening streams, open grassland, and an infinite amount of animals. You will spend the night at Ngorongoro wild camp directly on the crater’s edge with the orange glow of sunset surrounding you as you drift off to sleep.

Ngorongoro Crater

The early risers are rewarded with breathtaking views of the rising sun over the crater’s edge. After a hearty breakfast, you will drive down the adventurous track into the crater. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the Seven Wonders of Africa and the most incredible ecosystems on Earth. It was formed millions of years ago in the massive explosion of a volcano. It is 610m deep and covers roughly around 260sq km. Due to its dense animal population of approximately 25,000, the crater offers the best game viewing of all the parks in Tanzania. In a matter of minutes, you will be able to see wildebeests, zebras, gazelles, elephants, and some of the more than 500 bird species in the area. With a little bit of luck, you might catch a glimpse of the endangered black rhino through the grass.
