Tarangire National Park
Your day begins with a hotel pickup, where you’ll meet your guide, chef, and fellow travelers before setting off for Tarangire National Park, a scenic two-hour drive away. Known for its striking baobab-dotted landscape, Tarangire is home to Tanzania’s largest elephant population, offering exceptional opportunities to watch these giants interact in their natural habitat. As we explore the park, we’ll follow areas with recent wildlife activity, increasing our chances of spotting elusive predators such as lions, cheetahs, and leopards. Herbivores like giraffes, zebras, and wildebeest are commonly seen grazing across the plains. After a relaxing picnic lunch, the adventure continues with an afternoon game drive through different sections of the park. We expect to leave Tarangire around 4:30 pm and continue to the campsite, where dinner will be served before settling in for the night.

Serengeti National Park
The day begins with an early breakfast before setting out for a morning game drive, giving you the best chance to observe wildlife while the animals are most active. After exploring Serengeti’s plains, you’ll return to camp for lunch and to gather your belongings. The journey continues with a final game-viewing drive as you make your way toward the park’s exit, offering more opportunities to spot predators, grazers, and birds along the route. Once outside Serengeti, the drive to the Ngorongoro highlands takes around two hours. Your destination is Simba Campsite, situated close to the rim of the crater and known for its beautiful high-altitude scenery. Because wildlife frequently wanders through the area, it’s common to see animals right from the campsite.
