Tarangire National Park
You’ll begin your adventure with a convenient pickup from your hotel, followed by a scenic 3-hour drive to the captivating Tarangire National Park. Once there, you’ll embark on a thrilling full-day game drive, witnessing incredible wildlife and dramatic landscapes. During the day, you’ll enjoy a delicious lunch inside the park before continuing your exploration. Tarangire is known for its impressive herds of up to 300 elephants, who scrape the waterless riverbeds in search of hidden streams. As one of the most wildlife-rich areas outside the Serengeti ecosystem, Tarangire provides an incredible setting for predators to thrive. It’s also home to unique dry-country antelope species, such as the elegant fringe-eared oryx and the curious long-necked gerenuk. Tarangire stands out as the only park in Tanzania where migratory animals gather during the dry season, creating an exceptional wildlife spectacle that’s truly one of a kind.

Serengeti National Park
In the morning, we undertake our en-route game drive to the Northern region of the Serengeti. Stretching from Seronera for about 100km, the Northern Serengeti is a gently rolling countryside broken by small rivers, occasional hills, and kopjes. Here resides a multitudinous permanent population of wildlife, with also very striking geological occurrences such as then beautiful Lobo Kopje. The Northern Serengeti is an interesting and varied country that is far from the park’s main entry point in the south hence receiving fewer visitors. The migration is found in this area during August and we may with luck witness the most spectacular river crossings as the herd attempt to cross the Mara River and avoid the strong currents and hungry crocodiles. After a full day, we head for our accommodation where we enjoy dinner and our night of sleep under the magnificent African sky out upon the ‘Endless Plain.

Lake Manyara National Park
After an early breakfast, you'll descend over 600 meters into the Ngorongoro Crater, where you’ll have the opportunity to observe a stunning array of wildlife. Thanks to its year-round water supply and abundant vegetation, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is home to a diverse range of animals, including herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthogs, hippos, and majestic African elephants. A highlight of the crater is its impressive population of predators. Here, you can spot lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and, with a bit of luck, the elusive leopard, which can be tricky to find without a trained eye. During your visit, we’ll also stop at Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake located in the southwestern corner of the crater, known for its vibrant birdlife. You’ll often see flamingos, hippos, and various other water birds at the lake. In the late afternoon, we’ll transfer you back to Arusha.
