Morning: You'll explore one of Tanzania’s most rewarding national parks, a land of big baobab trees, big elephants, and big cats. No wonder this ends up being the favorite park in Tanzania for many visitors. Sightings of wildebeest, giraffes, hippos, buffaloes, baboons, vervet monkeys, and zebras are also almost guaranteed. Lions are plentiful here —Tarangire is home to one of Tanzania’s healthiest lion populations. While you’ll have to work a little harder to see a cheetah or leopard, it will only enhance your excitement when you do. You can also look forward to classic safari scenery —savannah plains, river woodlands, and rocky hills.
Lunch: You'll enjoy a picnic in the park.
Afternoon: After lunch, you’ll continue your wildlife-viewing to witness the wildlife of Tarangire National Park. Afterward, you’ll head to our permanent lodge in the Ngorongoro Highlands.

Karatu -Ndutu- Central Serengeti National Park
Morning: Rise and shine, you’ll start your safari early in the morning with a delightful breakfast, before embarking on a short drive from our lodge into the Ngorongoro. This is our getaway into the stunning Serengeti, one of the largest, and most diverse national parks in Tanzania.
Serengeti National Park is renowned for its vast plains, and great migration, which are home to numerous predators, including over 3000 lions, leopards, hyenas, cheetahs, and other animals. As you explore the park, you’ll be on the lookout for these creatures, and soak in the breathtaking landscape of the open plains dotted with kopjes.
As the days draw to a close, you might witness some of the most amazing sunsets, over the vast plains of Serengeti, as the birds head to roost. When the night falls, you’ll gather by the fire, and be surrounded by the noise of wildlife, and it’s when your senses are aroused. While the flame provides a safe place to relax, while a lion pride roars from a distance.

Wildlife Viewing in Northern Serengeti National Park
Wildlife Viewing in Northern Serengeti National Park
After an early breakfast, you will head out to make the most of the day. There is a chance you may see the animals crossing the Mara River. Hundreds of thousands of desperate wildebeest gather together on the banks of the river, gazing wistfully across the turbulent water at the green grass on the other side but no animal will make a move. All it takes is one brave wildebeest to take the literal plunge and, then, all follow! The animals that successfully avoid the awaiting crocodile jaws and make it over the river are rewarded with the lush green grazing grass of the Masai Mara.
Dinner: At the camp.
Evening: You'll spend the nights in the so-called –migration camp, strategically located close to the migration, ensuring you won’t miss a single moment of the action.
