Our driver guide will pick you from your lodge in Arusha and depart for Tarangire National Park. The park takes its name from the Tarangire River that runs through it. This “river of warthogs” is the only source of water for the region’s wildlife during the dry season. In some areas, the vegetation is quite dense, including elephant grass, acacia woodlands, and lush groundwater forest. The park is well known for its elephant families, which can often be seen gathering near the river. You may also see giraffes, and hartebeests. These animals are closely followed by a variety of predators, including lions and leopards. Lunch at the picnic site. After long game drive you will be transferred to lodge for relaxation and overnight.
After breakfast, you’ll depart for Serengeti National Park, enjoying game drives along the way as you journey through the breathtaking landscapes. Upon entering the park, you’ll stop for a picnic lunch at a scenic spot inside the Serengeti. The adventure continues with an afternoon game drive en route to your lodge. Known for its iconic Great Migration, the Serengeti’s vast plains are home to massive herds of wildebeest, zebra, and antelope. Keep your eyes open for resident predators like lions, cheetahs, and leopards, often spotted on the hunt or resting under the shade. By evening, you’ll arrive at your lodge for relaxation, dinner, and an overnight stay.
From the moment you wake up in the park, you can admire the sunrise over the surrounding savannah. Zebras and wildebeest will be right beside you. You can also watch the hot air balloons take off. The spectacle is simply breathtaking! This park is magical! You’ll have lunch at the picnic, and you will continue your safari. You will also visit the hippo pool, where you will have the opportunity to observe numerous impressive hippos playing, fighting, and mating. You may also spot the last remaining dinosaur species, the giant African crocodiles, basking in the sun on the pool’s banks. Late afternoon you’ll return to your lodge to admire the sunset over the savannah.
Rise early today to avoid any delays on your descent to the famous Ngorongoro Crater. From the moment you arrive in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, you will be amazed by the beauty that surrounds you. Ngorongoro crater is the largest unbroken volcanic caldera in the world. Thanks to its natural boundaries, the crater’s wildlife is incredible. The crater is home to the Big Five and offers an excellent opportunity to observe the rare black rhino. Add to this hyenas, zebras, buffalo, and elephants, and you have the perfect setting for an unforgettable safari! In the late afternoon, after exploring this park and its underground forest you will exist and drive to the lodge.
After breakfast, you will head to Lake Manyara National Park for a full-day safari. Located in the Great Rift Valley, Lake Manyara is renowned for its flamingos, pelicans, and cormorants, but it is also home to several hundred species of migratory birds, making it a birdwatcher’s paradise. Tree-climbing lions and breathtaking scenery will make your day unforgettable. With a little luck, you might spot elephants in the acacia forest. Lake Manyara National Park is renowned for its high concentration of birds, monkeys, and big cats. Lunch will be served at the picnic area. After lunch, you will continue your safari in the afternoon. Later you will exit the park and head back to Arusha, where you will be dropped off at a place of your choice either Arusha town, Kilimanjaro Airport or Arusha Airport.
