Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park
Your Professional Safari Africa guide will pick you up from your accommodation after breakfast, and you will set off for Tarangire National Park. The drive takes approximately two and a half hours along good tarmac roads. The park is named after the Tarangire River, also called the “river of warthogs,” which serves as the only water source for wildlife in the dry season. Tarangire is famous for its large elephant herds often seen near the river, and you may also spot giraffes, bushbucks, and hartebeests, accompanied by predators like lions and leopards. The park hosts more breeding bird species than anywhere else in the world, and its enormous ancient baobab trees, some over a thousand years old, add to the landscape. Lunch will be enjoyed at a picnic site inside the park. After the game drive, you will continue to your accommodation in Karatu for the evening.

Day 3
Ngorongoro Crater to Serengeti National Park
Ngorongoro Crater to Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, you will drive up into the cooler regions of Ngorongoro Conservation Area. When you first see Ngorongoro Crater, it looks like a forgotten world. Concealed by the steep volcanic walls is a pristine wilderness including sweeping savannah, pockets of acacia woodland, and glistening lakes and swamps. The Crater was created when a large volcano exploded and collapsed in on itself two to three million years ago and it covers an area of 260 km². The Crater is famous for both its geological delights and for being a natural reserve that is home to some of the densest large mammal populations in the whole of the African continent. After you descend into the Crater, you quickly find yourself amongst large numbers of wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, and more than 500 bird species. The Crater provides you with the best chance of seeing the endangered black rhino.
You will then transit through Ngorongoro Conservation Area, to the Serengeti, entering at the South of the Park.

Day 4
Serengeti National Park to Karatu
Serengeti National Park to Karatu
The Serengeti is nothing short of spectacular, renowned for its vast open grasslands that offer exceptional wildlife viewing. Its climate and vegetation have remained largely unchanged for millions of years. While abundant in wildlife, the Serengeti is best known for the annual Great Migration, when vast herds of wildebeest, accompanied by zebras and antelope, move in search of fresh grazing. Wildlife can be found year-round if you know where to look, making timing and location key to spotting the animals. Alongside the iconic landscapes, you also have a chance to see predators such as lions, cheetahs, and leopards, making it a truly life-changing experience. In the afternoon, you will begin the drive back to Karatu, with opportunities to enjoy more breathtaking sights along the way.

Lake Manyara National Park to Arusha
Lake Manyara National Park to Arusha
After breakfast, you will set off for Lake Manyara National Park, a small yet remarkably diverse park located 120 km west of Arusha. The park is unique—compact, yet dramatic, with the Great Rift Escarpment rising along its western edge. At its heart lies a shallow salt lake that expands and recedes with the seasons, attracting thousands of wading birds, including flamingos and over 500 other species. In the dense evergreen forest, you may spot baboons and elephants, and keep an eye out for the famous tree-climbing lions. A picnic lunch will be served inside the park. After your game drive, you will bid farewell to your guide and be dropped off at your chosen location, such as Arusha town, Kilimanjaro Airport, or Arusha Airport. We hope you have thoroughly enjoyed your adventure with Professional Safari Africa!
