As we zip along, we pass many Maasai in their colorful dress, walking on the roadside, riding bicycles, herding cattle, and driving donkey carts.
Tarangire National Park, well known for its large elephant herds, is also host to a multitude of other creatures. From the open roof of our state-of-the-art safari Jeep, we experience the seasonal swamps, savannah, and life-giving Tarangire River, endeavouring to encounter a multitude of creatures, from zebra to wildebeest, buffalo, elephant, and giraffe, to name a few.

Day 5
Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
This entire day is set aside for game drives upon the Serengeti. The Serengeti, the habitat of an abundance of wildlife such as impala, buffalo, crocodile, and hippo, is more well-known for its great migrating herds of zebra, antelope, and wildebeest. The animals’ trek is determined by the rainfall and varies from year to year. In November and December, the animals move from the northern region, dominated by woodlands and hills, to the grassy plains of the south. During the longer rainy season from April to June, they return to the north.
Apart from the migrating herds, we may have the opportunity to see the resident predators, leopards, cheetahs, and lions, fulfilling their role in the circle of life.
After an unforgettable day, we will return to your accommodation for relaxation, dinner, and our overnight sleep on the endless plains.
