Tarangire to Serengeti National Park Adventure

Tarangire to Serengeti National Park Adventure

After an early breakfast at 6:30 AM, you’ll leave your lodge and drive toward the stunning highlands surrounding the Ngorongoro Crater, home to the Iraqw people, known for cultivating wheat, corn, and coffee. Continuing past the crater, you will arrive at the vast Serengeti plains around midday.

Tanzania’s largest national park, the Serengeti, boasts a rich tapestry of landscapes—from open grasslands and savannahs to bush, swamps, mountains, and lakes. Scattered kopjes—distinctive rocky outcrops—often serve as vantage points for predators. Depending on the season, you might witness the awe-inspiring migration of thousands of wildebeest and zebras across the plains.

Your game drive concludes around 5:00 PM, after which you’ll return to your lodge in the heart of the Serengeti. Here, you can unwind, savor a hearty dinner, and spend the night surrounded by the peaceful sounds of the wilderness.

Full-Day Game Drive in Central Serengeti National Park

After an early breakfast, depart around 6:30 AM for a full 6–7 hours of wildlife exploration in the heart of the legendary Serengeti. This world-renowned park is alive with a rich variety of animals—impalas, buffalo, hippos, and crocodiles all roam its landscapes. The Serengeti is especially famous for the Great Migration, where enormous herds—250,000 zebras, 1.5 million wildebeest, and 500,000 antelopes—move across the plains in rhythm with the seasonal rains. Alongside these vast herds, keep an eye out for apex predators such as lions, leopards, and cheetahs hunting across the savannah.

At the end of the game drive, return to your lodge within the Serengeti to unwind, enjoy a hearty dinner, and spend the night immersed in the serene sounds of the wilderness.
