After early breakfast, we will depart for Tarangire National Park. The park is named after the Tarangire River which runs through it. This ‘river of warthogs’ is the only source of water for wildlife in the region during the dry season. In some places, the vegetation is quite dense with elephant grass and acacia woodlands. The park is well known for its elephant families, which can often be seen congregating by the river. Tarangire is the best place to see these gentle giants in their natural habitat, from the adorable calves all the way up to the intimidating bulls. You may also see giraffe, bushbuck and hartebeest. These animals are closely followed by a range of predators, including lions and leopards. There are more breeding species of birds found in Tarangire National Park than anywhere else on the planet.

Day 4-5

Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park

Have an early breakfast before heading to the Serengeti, with game viewing along the way. The Serengeti is renowned as the world’s most famous wildlife sanctuary, celebrated for its stunning natural beauty and scientific significance. It boasts the highest concentration of plains game in Africa. The Serengeti is most famous for its incredible migration, where over a million wildebeest and around 200,000 zebras move south from the northern hills to the southern plains for the short rains in October and November, then head west and north after the long rains in April, May, and June. Their instinct to migrate is so strong that no drought, gorge, or crocodile-infested river can stop them. The Serengeti is truly the heart of the legendary Great Wildebeest Migration. The park is teeming with wildlife, endless plains, and breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. Enjoy a packed lunch at a picnic site, and later in the afternoon, drive to Lahia Tented Lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.
