We will depart Arusha in the morning and head directly to Tarangire National Park, named after the river that runs through it, which quenches the thirst of a variety of animals, including giraffes, waterbucks, wildebeests, zebras, and a high density of elephants. Tarangire is home to over 550 species of birds, and its hilly landscape is dotted with baobabs and diverse grasses.
After a morning game drive, you will enjoy a picnic lunch overlooking the river, before continuing wildlife viewing until leaving the park in the late afternoon.

After breakfast, you will drive to the Serengeti National Park.
The Serengeti National Park, home to the Big Five - rhinoceros, elephant, leopard, buffalo, and lion - is one of the greatest national parks in the world, spanning over 14,000 km². The name Serengeti comes from a Maasai word meaning "endless plains".
Although populations fluctuate, there are an estimated 3 million large game animals in the Serengeti, including over 2,500 lions, 1.2 million wildebeest, and over 200,000 zebras. You will also have the opportunity to see giraffes, baboons, colobus monkeys, gazelles, antelopes, crocodiles, hippos, waterbuck, hartebeest, and more! This vast and varied park is home to more than 500 bird species, including ostriches, vultures, martial eagles, kori bustards, crowned cranes, and secretary birds.
You'll enjoy a picnic or camp lunch before continuing for an afternoon game drive through the vast plains. A trip to the Serengeti at any time of the year can never disappoint!

Beginning the day with an early game drive, you will experience the Serengeti as the sun rises and wildlife awakens in the golden morning. This is one of the best times for wildlife viewing. You will either take a breakfast box or return to your lodge/camp for a late breakfast and rest before setting out into the vast Serengeti plains for the rest of the day. We will enjoy a picnic lunch during the day and return to our camp early evening.
Your guide will speak with you to plan your day after researching the best locations for animals.

After breakfast, we will drive to the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Ngorongoro Crater, one of Africa’s safari highlights. The name Ngorongoro is from a Maasai word meaning "Gift of Life".
You will begin by taking in the magnificent views from the crater rim before descending into the crater itself. You will have the opportunity to see elephants, lions, buffalo, zebras and many other animal and bird species. We will enjoy a picnic lunch overlooking the hippo pool.
The Ngorongoro Crater is beautiful at any time of year and teaming with wildlife. You may experience clear views of the crater bowl or mists rolling down into the base - either way, a memorable experience.

After breakfast, we will head to Lake Manyara, an alkaline lake, rich with plant and birdlife. The lake’s environment supports over 300 species of birds, including cormorants, pink flamingos, pelicans and storks. After a picnic lunch, we will enjoy an afternoon game drive where you can see elephants and baboons; in fact, Lake Manyara boasts the most baboons in any park in Africa! If you are lucky, you will also see the famous tree-climbing lions.
