Arusha - Tarangire National Park

We will pick you up from your hotel in Arusha at 7:30 am and take you to a very special safari park in Tanzania. Tarangire is famous for its diverse landscape with nine different vegetation zones. The Tarangire National Park is particularly known for the abundance of ancient baobab trees (the largest trees in the continent) which fill the landscape and dwarf the animals next to them. The river of the park is full of wildlife ranging from a large variety of birds to lions, leopards, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, antelopes, and, of course, African elephants. Tarangire has the largest concentration of elephants in the whole country and provides unique chances to observe the interaction between elephant families. In the afternoon, you will still do a game drive before continuing to your accommodation.

Tarangire - Serengeti National Park

Tarangire - Serengeti National Park

There was a reason that “The Lion King” creators drew their inspiration from the Serengeti. Today, you will get to discover why. Renowned for its large lion population, this may be the best opportunity to get a great view of a lion pride in their natural habitat, as the gazelles, zebras, and buffalos are abundant in this region. Come during the right season and witness the birth of the wildebeest calves, where they will begin their annual migration to Kenya at the end of May. Lunch will be served in the park. After a full day of game drives, your lodge awaits.

Day 5

Serengeti Via Ngorongoro Crater to Karatu

Serengeti Via Ngorongoro Crater to Karatu

After an early breakfast, you'll continue with your en-route drive inside Serengeti National Park before departing to Ngorongoro Crater. You will descend the crater, which is almost 610 meters deep.

The Crater was created when a large volcano exploded and collapsed in on itself two to three million years ago. It is famous for both its geological delights and for being a natural reserve that is home to some of the densest large mammal populations in the whole of the African continent. The drive down into the Crater is an adventure in itself and when you reach the Crater floor, you quickly find yourself amongst large numbers of wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, and more than 500 bird species. The Crater provides you with the best chance of seeing the endangered black rhinos, which can sometimes be spotted in the open grasslands.

After lunch and a game drive inside the crater, you'll head for our comfort partner lodges in Karatu for dinner and an overnight stay.

Main Destination:

Best Time To Visit June to October (Wildlife viewing is best)
