Watch in awe as massive herds of up to 300 elephants dig into the dry riverbed for hidden water sources, while nomadic wildebeest, zebras, buffaloes, impalas, gazelles, and rare elands mass around the shrinking lagoons—making Tarangire an unforgettable, elephant-rich introduction to the mainland.

Day 2

Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, you'll depart for Serengeti National Park via the beautiful high-lying farmland of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Leaving the highlands behind, you'll descend into the heart of wild Africa—the Serengeti National Park—with its endless plains, rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see. Then, you'll head to the central park area, known as the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park, featuring the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti’s species. You'll arrive in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in the Serengeti National Park.
