After breakfast, your driver/guide will be ready at your hotel to pick you head into the Tarangire National Park for a game drive. The park has great landscapes, including a plain known as the small Serengeti, the Tarangire river, which acts as a major magnet for animals during the dry season. Its natural vegetation mainly consists of Acacia woodland and giant African Baobab trees, with huge swamp areas in the south. The Tarangire National Park is reputed to contain some of the largest elephant herds in Africa. This African national park is also home to three rare species of animals – the Greater Kudu, the Fringed-eared Oryx, and a few Ashy Starlings. The park also offers a large number of buffalo, Zebras, Wildebeest, Giraffes, Lions, cheetahs, Leopards, Impalas, Gazelles, warthogs, and wild dogs, which are occasionally seen. The park is also enriched with birds, with more than 400 species. During the lunch hour, we will stop at a picnic site for lunch and continue with a game drive until evening, when we drive to the camp for the night.
Dinner and overnight at Tarangire Campsite.

Day 3Tarangire National Park - Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, we exit Tarangire and head towards the Serengeti National Park, via the beautiful highland farmland of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Leaving the highlands behind, we descend into the heart of wild Africa – the Serengeti National Park – with its endless plains, rolling into the distance as far as the ye can see. We head to the central park area, known as the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park, featuring the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source and therefore attracts wildlife well-representative of most of the Serengeti’s species. We arrive in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in the Serengeti National Park.
Dinner and overnight at Tumbili public camps
- No game-viewing travel time: 4hours
- Distance: 242km
Day 4Serengeti National Park
This day will be spent on a game drive in the Serengeti. The areas that you visit will depend on where the migrating herds are (predators usually follow closely behind the trekking animals). During the short rainy season in November and December, the herds move from the hills in the north to the plains in the south. During the longer rainy season from April to June, they return up centra Serengeti, while in July to October they are in North Serengeti. The yearly trek is determined by the rainfall, and the location of the herds might vary from year to year, but your guide will know where to find the animals and where to see them best. Apart from wildebeests and zebras, you will also spot predators such as lions, leopards, and cheetahs, as well as all the big five.
Dinner and overnight at Tumbili public campsite

Day 5Serengeti National Park - Ngorongoro Crater

- No game-viewing travel time: 2hours
- Distance: 147km
Day 6Ngorongoro Crater - Arusha
After early breakfast we will descend over 600 meters into the crater for a game drive for a half day’s safari tour. Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro National Park supports a wide variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque national park is its dense population of predators, which includes lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot. This is the only park where you can see black rhinos more easily than in any other park. We will visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, which is one of the main features of the crater and acts as home for flamingos and hippos. Apart from the animals, the park has the most wonderful landscape, and it's a very beautiful caldera park. We will have lunch at the picnic site. In the afternoon, after lunch, we depart the crater and drive back to Arusha.
The hotel is Bed & Breakfast basis.
