Especially during the Dry season, Tarangire National Park is packed with wildlife. There are big cats like lions, cheetahs, and leopards, but also the seldom-seen kudu, oryx, and gerenuk. The Tarangire River draws huge herds of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles, as well as predators who prey upon them.

Ngorongoro Crater to Serengeti National Park
Ngorongoro Crater to Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, you'll hit the road to experience the wonderful Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Seven Wonders of Africa. More precisely termed - a caldera - this is the best place for game viewing in Tanzania. An enclosed ecosystem, the caldera is home to some 25,000 large mammals.
Descending the bumpy, winding track toward the caldera floor, you'll note our passage through several different climactic zones until, 600m down, we roam out onto the broad expanse. You can expect to see buffalos, wildebeests, zebras, gazelles, elephants, reedbucks, and Thomson's gazelles. You'll spot our predator friends, like lions and cheetahs, lounging in the grass and some of the more than 500 bird species in this area. With a little bit of luck, you might catch a glimpse of the endangered black rhino through the grass.
After your extensive game drive within the crater, you'll return to your carefully selected quality lodge in Serengeti National Park.

Inland of the floodplain, a narrow belt of acacia woodland is the favored haunt of Manyara’s legendary tree-climbing lions and impressively tusked elephants.
