Day 1: Airport/Arusha - Tarangire National Park

Our Safari Guide from our office will pick you up from the Airport or hotel and drive to Tarangire National Park for the game drive for wildlife sighting while carrying lunch boxes. After your game drive, you will be transferred to your accommodation located in Karatu village where we stop for relaxation, dinner and overnight stay.

The Park is named after the Tarangire River which runs through it. This ‘river of warthogs’ is the only source of water for wildlife in the region during the dry season. The Park is well known for its elephant families, which can often be seen congregating by the river. You may also see giraffe, bushbuck, and hartebeest. These animals are closely followed by a range of predators, including lions and leopards. Lunch will be at a picnic site inside the Park.

Once the game drives are done, we will drive to your lodge for relaxation, dinner, and your overnight stay.

After breakfast, head to the Central Serengeti Park to see some wildlife. In the park, eat lunch in a comfortable location. Before arriving at the camp, we will proceed with the game drive activity in the afternoon. More famously, the Serengeti is home to large herds of zebra, antelope, and wildebeest that migrate there. Prepare to witness the lion, cheetah, and leopard, the local predators, as they carry out their part in the cycle of life.

After an early morning and a delicious breakfast, we will travel to the Northern Serengeti, which is home to the Mara River and the Great Migration. Our safari guide will locate the ideal location for the Great Migration. When wildebeests, zebras, and other animals migrate across the Mara River to the Masai Mara in Kenya, it’s known as the Great Migration. Crocodile-filled Mara River is traversed by migration. Every year from July to the beginning of October is the ideal time to go.

After an early breakfast, we will continue with a game drives in Northern Serengeti, paying particular attention to the Great Migration. Following that, we travel to Ngorongoro, where we spend the night on the Crater Rim. When wildebeests, zebras, and other animals migrate across the Mara River to the Masai Mara in Kenya, it’s known as the Great Migration. Crocodile-filled Mara River is traversed by migration. Every year from July to the beginning of October is the ideal time to go.

Get up early in the morning and enjoy breakfast and after breakfast, then descend inside the Ngorongoro crater for game drive for wildlife sighting while carrying lunch boxes. Once we finish the game drive we will transfer you to the Arusha or Airport where safari ends.

This Park appears to be a lost world when you first arrive to Ngorongoro Crater. There is a beautiful environment with shimmering lakes and wetlands, patches of acacia woodland, and broad savannah hidden behind the sheer volcanic walls. The Crater was formed two to three million years ago when a massive volcano exploded and fell in on itself. It’s well-known for its geological wonders as well as being a nature reserve that harbors some of the largest populations of huge mammals on the African continent. The journey into the Crater is an adventure in and of itself, and once you arrive at the bottom, you’ll soon be surrounded by over 500 different kinds of birds, zebras, gazelles, and wildebeest. The Crater provides you with the best chance of seeing the endangered black rhino, which can sometimes be spotted in the open grasslands
