Tarangire National Park

Your first safari will be in Tarangire National Park. This park has a river where animals like giraffes, zebras, antelopes, and buffalo come to drink water. Because of this, lions and other predators also come here, so you're very likely to see them!
During the dry season (June–October and December–March), many elephants gather at the river. Tarangire has the largest number of elephants in Northern Tanzania! The elephants are not afraid of people and often come close to the cars. Don’t worry it’s safe and amazing to watch them up close.

Balloon Safari and Game Drive in Serengeti

Your day will begin very early with a hot air balloon ride at sunrise. A driver will take you to the launch area. You’ll have tea or coffee and a snack as you watch the balloon get ready.
Then, you'll float high above the Serengeti plains for about an hour. From the air, you’ll see animals like elephants, giraffes, and zebras starting their day. It’s peaceful, quiet, and unforgettable.
After you land, you’ll enjoy a special breakfast in the bush and receive a certificate to remember your flight.
Later, your guide will take you on a classic safari drive through the Seronera area, the heart of the Serengeti. You might see lions, buffalo, cheetahs, leopards, and many more animals. The open grasslands and big skies make it a perfect place for great photos.
The Serengeti is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is famous for the Great Migration and stunning nature. Whether you keep exploring or return to relax at your camp, this will be a day full of beauty and adventure.

Ngorongoro Crater

Your final safari stop is the amazing Ngorongoro Crater, created by a volcano millions of years ago.
You’ll leave early with your guide and drive through green forest before entering the crater. On the way, you’ll stop at a viewpoint to see the whole crater from above.
Inside, you may see elephants, zebras, lions, buffalo, cheetahs, and even rare black rhinos. Giraffes don’t live here because they can’t walk down the steep crater walls.
You’ll stop for a picnic by Lake Magadi, where you might see hippos and birds. But be careful don’t feed the animals or leave food out. It’s bad for them and against the law. Rangers may give fines for breaking the rules.
