Day 3

Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park

Many travelers rate Tarangire among their favorite national parks anywhere in Tanzania. Here in Tarangire, you can look for lions, leopards, and cheetahs. But you won’t have to look hard to see baboons, vervet monkeys, wildebeest, giraffes, hippos, buffaloes and zebras. And you’ll come across elephants and baobabs everywhere, two giants of the African bush. Also an enjoyable part of your Tarangire experience will be the rolling savannah scenery, which includes rivers and low hills. And while it can get busy, crowds of cars will not be a problem here.

Best Time To Visit July to November (Animals come to the Tarangire River)

Day 4

Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park

The Serengeti is where safari dreams come to life. Watch powerful predators like lions and leopards stalk their prey across golden grasslands, while gentle giants like elephants and giraffes roam freely. Herds of zebra and wildebeest create moving patterns across the plains, and you might spot a cheetah sprinting after its meal or a hyena scavenging nearby. The landscape itself tells a story - from iconic flat-topped acacia trees to massive boulder formations where lions lounge. Every sunrise brings new wonders: perhaps a mother rhino with her calf, a dazzle of zebras crossing your path, or hundreds of colorful birds taking flight. This is nature's greatest theater, where each moment creates memories that will stay with you forever.

Central Serengeti Game Drive then transfer to Ngorongoro NP

A full-day game drive in Central Serengeti offers unparalleled wildlife viewing in the park's most productive area. The Seronera Valley's diverse ecosystems support year-round animal concentrations - expect to see lions lounging on granite kopjes, leopards in sausage trees, and cheetahs scanning the grasslands. Herds of elephants, buffalo, and giraffes roam between acacia woodlands while hippos crowd the Retina Pool. This region forms the dramatic stage for the Great Migration from December to July when millions of wildebeest and zebras attract predators. Between wildlife sightings, admire the quintessential Serengeti landscapes: endless golden plains dotted with iconic umbrella trees and dramatic rock formations. Don't forget your binoculars for over 500 bird species!

late afternoon you will continue game drive while heading to Serengeti exit gate and enter Ngorongoro National Park.

Day 6

Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro Crater offers a safari experience unlike any other in Africa. That first descent onto the crater floor reveals an entire world contained within ancient volcanic walls - a place where over 600 hyenas roam alongside critically endangered black rhinos. You'll encounter elephants with magnificent tusks and observe one of Africa's densest lion populations, all thriving in this natural sanctuary. But beyond the wildlife, it's Ngorongoro's breathtaking beauty that truly captivates. Morning mist slowly unveils lush forests clinging to steep crater walls, shimmering soda lakes where flamingos gather, and hidden pools where hippos lounge undisturbed. This self-contained ecosystem, teeming with life yet perfectly isolated, creates memories that linger long after your visit.

Best Time To Visit June to October (Wildlife viewing is best)

Day 7

Lake Manyara National Park

Lake Manyara National Park

Next on your safari is Lake Manyara National Park, a scenic jewel where dramatic landscapes and extraordinary wildlife come together in one compact area. The park's diverse ecosystems - from steep Rift Valley escarpments to lush groundwater forests and the expansive soda lake - create a photographer's paradise. Wildlife highlights include large elephant herds moving through dense vegetation, troops of baboons noisily traversing the forest canopy, and the park's legendary tree-climbing lions lounging in acacia branches. This unique blend of scenery and animal behavior makes Lake Manyara a refreshing contrast to Tanzania's larger parks, offering intimate wildlife encounters you won't find elsewhere in the northern circuit.
