For a different perspective, consider a hot air balloon safari that soars above the action, ending with a celebratory champagne breakfast amidst the wildlife upon landing. Speak with your safari specialist to add this extraordinary experience to your itinerary.
Afterward, you'll return to your lodge for a relaxed late breakfast. You can then prepare a picnic lunch and embark on a full day of exploration in the Masai Mara.

Day 6
Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park
Tarangire is best known for its elephant herds and tree-climbing lions. It is home to all the classic African savannah species plus a few unusual ones— such as the long-necked gerenuk —that you won't see in the Serengeti. It's home to all the big predators and with 550 species of bird on the tick list, it's a fabulous destination for bird watchers.
It is Tarangire's dry season that will have you reaching for the superlatives. Between June and November, and January and February, the Tarangire River (running north-south through the park) attracts huge numbers of elephants, buffalos, giraffes, and many antelope species. You'll go on a Tarangire safari at this time of year to see concentrations of animals rivaled only by those in the Ngorongoro Crater but, in the case of Tarangire, in a largely crowd-free environment.
A full day will be spent here with a night inside Tarangire National Park.
