Arusha to Tarangire National Park
You'll be picked up from your hotel, and once you've met your guide, the adventure begins with a drive to Tarangire National Park. Known for its towering baobab trees, open bush savannahs, and seasonal marshes, this park stands out as one of the best places to get up close with elephants.
Beyond the elephants, you'll find buffalo, zebra, and wildebeest roaming the park, often trailed by predators like lions. Leopards do show up now and then, though cheetahs are much harder to spot.
Throughout the drive, you'll take in sweeping views and watch wildlife from the open roof of your safari jeep. Later in the afternoon, you'll head out of the park to your camp, where a comfortable overnight stay awaits.

Day 3
Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, you will commence a game-viewing drive along the Sogore River Circuit, a trail that meanders through the plains south of the Seronera River. This route offers opportunities for spotting lions, Thomson's gazelles, topis, ostriches and cheetahs. Once your morning exploration concludes, make sure not to miss the Visitor Centre, conveniently situated near Serengeti Seronera Lodge.
In the afternoon, you will follow the kopjes circuit, which leads you around the Maasai kopjes in a counterclockwise direction. These kopjes, weathered granite outcrops, are scattered across the plains and function as self-contained ecosystems, providing shade and water pools after rainfall. They prove especially beneficial for observing wildlife during the dry season, as lions frequently await prey at the watering holes. Remarkably large cobras also inhabit these kopjes.
