Safari Starts from Arusha - Drive to Southern serengeti National Park

After breakfast, you will be picked up from your accommodation in Arusha or the airport and head straight to Southern Serengeti National Park via the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. On the way, you will enjoy scenic views of the Ngorongoro Crater.

Southern Serengeti National Park is a World Heritage Site teeming with wildlife. Over 2 million ungulates, 4000 lions, 1000 leopards, 550 cheetahs and some 500 bird species inhabit an area close to 15,000 square kilometers in size. Most visitors come here with one aim alone—to witness millions of wildebeest, zebra, gazelle and eland on a mass trek to quench their thirst for water and to eat fresh grass. During this tremendous cyclical movement, these ungulates move around the Masai Mara/Serengeti ecosystem in a seasonal pattern defined by rainfall and grass nutrients.

Lunch will be offered on the vehicle during the safari. By late afternoon, you will arrive at your lodge to rest, dine and cherish the most remarkable moments of the safari.

Not only seeing but also hearing the buzz of millions of wildebeest so thick in the air that it vibrates through your entire body is something you will try to describe to friends and family before realizing it is impossible! Vistas of honey-lit plains at sunset are so beautiful that it is worth the trip just to witness this.

Day 4

Game Drive in Tarangire National Park

Game Drive in Tarangire National Park

After breakfast, you will check out from the lodge and drive to Tarangire National Park in the Manyara Region. The park's name originates from the Tarangire River, which flows throughout the park.

Ranking as the 6th largest national park in Tanzania and covering an area of 2,600 square kilometres, it is most famous for its large elephant herds. It is usually very dry, in fact, drier than the Serengeti. However, its vegetation is much greener, with lots of grass, vast areas with mixed acacia woodlands and some of the wonderful ribbons of the aquatic forest. Also, remember the giant baobab trees that can live up to 600 years, storing between 300 and 900 litres of water.

In the afternoon you will break for lunch. After lunch, the game drive continues until you start driving back to your accommodation in Arusha or head to the airport, where the safari ends.

Main Destination:
Tarangire National Park
Best Time To Visit July to November (Animals come to the Tarangire River)
