Tarangire National Park is located 115km from Arusha. The park gets its name from the Tarangire River, where the animals congregate to drink.

The baobab is sometimes referred to as the “Tree of Life” due to the mythical powers that some cultures ascribe to it.

Serengeti national park

After breakfast we will head towards Serengeti National Park via the beautiful high land of Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Leaving the highlands behind, we descend into the heart of wild Africa: Serengeti National Park, with its endless plains rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see. We will make our way to the central park area, which is known as the Seronera. This is one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park. It features the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area that attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti's species. We will arrive on time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in the park.

Serengeti national park

You will wake up early in the morning and have a full breakfast before starting your game drive inside the Serengeti. We will make sure that you follow the wildebeest migration during your time with us.

The Great migration varies every year. The best chance of seeing it is from June to October, while the wildebeest calving is from January to March. From July to September, your driver will be able to take you to the northern Serengeti to watch the wildebeest crossing the Mara River. A million and a half wildebeest travel throughout the year as they look for fresh grazing pasture and follow the rainfall for better water sources. After your full day game drive you will head back to your accommodations for dinner and your overnight stay.
