Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park

After breakfast, your Cari Local Safari guide will pick you up from your accommodation. You’ll begin your journey to Tarangire National Park, a scenic two and a half hour drive on well-maintained tarmac roads. The park is named after the Tarangire River, the region’s vital water source for wildlife during the dry season, and is often referred to as the 'river of warthogs.'

Tarangire is famous for its large elephant herds, which can often be spotted near the river. You may also encounter giraffes, bushbucks, and hartebeests. Predators such as lions and leopards are often close behind. The park is a birdwatcher’s paradise, with more bird species breeding here than anywhere else on Earth. The iconic, ancient baobab trees, some thought to be over a thousand years old, dot the landscape.

You’ll enjoy lunch at a picnic spot within the park. After your exciting game drive, you’ll travel to your accommodation in Karatu for the evening.

After breakfast, you'll drive up to the cooler regions of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, with a stop to admire the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater. Continuing through the conservation area, you'll make your way to the Serengeti, entering from the southern part of the park.

The Serengeti National Park is a true marvel, renowned for its expansive grasslands that offer excellent wildlife sightings. While it is home to a diverse array of animals, it is especially famous for the awe-inspiring annual migration. Depending on the time of your visit, you may witness one of the natural world's seven wonders as vast herds of wildebeest, zebra, and antelope traverse the plains in search of water and fresh grazing.

You’ll enjoy a picnic lunch and spend the night at a luxurious tented camp in the Central Serengeti.

It’s the only nature reserve in Tanzania where off-road driving is allowed, bringing you close to the animals.
