Your safari guide will pick you up from your accommodation after breakfast. Today, you’ll drive to Tarangire National Park, which is about two and a half hours away on well-maintained tarmac roads. The park is named after the Tarangire River, the primary water source for wildlife in the area during the dry season. This ‘river of warthogs’ attracts an abundance of wildlife, including large elephant herds often seen gathered along the river. You may also spot giraffes, bushbucks, and hartebeests, all of which are closely followed by predators like lions and leopards. Tarangire is famous for having more breeding species of birds than any other place in the world! The park is also home to massive, ancient Baobab trees, some of which are believed to be over a thousand years old.
Enjoy a picnic lunch at a scenic spot within the park, then continue your game drive before heading to your accommodation in Karatu for the night.

Serengeti national Park to Ngorongoro Crater
After breakfast, you'll make your way toward the Ngorongoro Crater, with the journey offering even more scenic beauty along the way!
Ngorongoro Crater is hidden within steep volcanic walls, creating a pristine wilderness filled with vast savannahs, patches of acacia woodland, sparkling lakes, and swamps. The crater was formed when a massive volcano erupted and collapsed in on itself two to three million years ago.
The drive down into the crater is an adventure of its own. Once on the crater floor, you’ll find yourself surrounded by herds of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles, along with over 500 species of birds. The crater also offers one of the best chances to see the endangered black rhino, which can sometimes be spotted in the open grasslands.
After a full afternoon of exploration, you’ll head to your accommodation in Karatu to relax and reflect on the day.
