Arusha to Tarangire National Park
After breakfast, your safari driver will pick you up at your hotel in Arusha and drive you to Tarangire National Park. Tarangire is famous for its large elephant families, expansive savannahs, iconic baobab trees, seasonal swamps, and the life-giving Tarangire River, where animals gather to drink and cool off from the hot African sun. You may also spot giraffes, bushbucks, and hartebeest.
The park is home to buffalo, zebra, and wildebeest, closely followed by predators such as lions and leopards. From the open roof of your safari vehicle, you can enjoy panoramic views of the landscape and observe a wide variety of wildlife. A picnic lunch will be served in the park, including coffee and soft drinks.
After a full day of game viewing, you will be driven to Suricata Boma Lodge for check-in, dinner, and your overnight stay.

Mto wa Mbu to Serengeti National Park
Mto wa Mbu to Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, you will drive up the crater highlands, stopping at the rim for a spectacular view of the Ngorongoro Crater, and continue as far as the eye can see, taking in the vast view of the Serengeti. Serengeti means “endless plain" and is inhabited by more than 2 million wildebeest and other wildlife. From January to April, the wildebeest, plains zebra, and Thomson’s gazelle give birth to their calves. Large predators, including lions, cheetahs, and hyenas, are drawn to the area by this abundance of prey, which migrates throughout the park. Many smaller animals like rock hyrax, bat-eared fox, mongoose, honey badger, jackal, monkey, baboon, and African hare also inhabit the area. There are also over 500 species of birds.

Serengeti National Park to Karatu
Serengeti National Park to Karatu
You will rise very early and enjoy a sunrise game drive to spot animals when they are more active and also to witness a fantastic African sunrise, one of the most spectacular sights one can experience. You will then return to camp for breakfast, check out, and travel to the Ngorongoro Crater.
This vast crater is home to the greatest concentration of wildlife on the planet, with almost every species indigenous to East Africa, including the rare black rhino. The crater contains a river, several swamps, a soda lake that, from the top, looks like steam, a forest, and open plains. The large bull elephant that resides here has extremely large tusks due to the rich mineral content of the volcanic soil and its grasses. You will enjoy lunch during this extraordinary game drive.
You will spend the night at Karatu (the hotel is outside the Ngorongoro Crater).
