Tarangire National Park
Your Ellion Tours safari guide will collect you from your accommodation after breakfast. You will then drive to Tarangire National Park, approximately two and a half hours away on good tarmac roads. The Park takes its name from the Tarangire River, which flows through the area. This “river of warthogs” serves as the main water source for wildlife in the region during the dry season. The Park is famous for its large elephant herds, often seen gathering along the river. You may also spot giraffes, bushbucks, and hartebeests. These herbivores attract a variety of predators, including lions and leopards. Tarangire is also home to more breeding bird species than anywhere else on the planet. The impressive ancient Baobab trees dominate the landscape, with some believed to be over a thousand years old.
Lunch will be served at a picnic site inside the Park. After your game drive, you will continue to – in Karatu.

At first sight, the Ngorongoro Crater feels like a hidden world, with steep volcanic walls surrounding a pristine wilderness of savannah, acacia forests, lakes, and swamps. Formed two to three million years ago after a massive volcanic collapse, the Crater covers 260 km² and is renowned for its unique geology and exceptional wildlife density. Descending into the Crater, you will encounter large herds of wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, and over 500 bird species. It also offers one of the best opportunities to spot the endangered black rhino.

The Serengeti is truly spectacular, renowned for its endless plains and exceptional wildlife viewing. Its climate and ecosystem have remained largely unchanged for millions of years, creating a perfect habitat for countless species. While home to abundant wildlife, the Serengeti is best known for the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest, along with zebra and antelope, move across the plains in search of fresh grazing. The migration can be witnessed throughout the year, depending on the season and location. Beyond the breathtaking landscapes, you have excellent chances of spotting predators such as lions, cheetahs, and leopards. It is an unforgettable, life-changing experience.

The shallow alkaline lake attracts thousands of wading birds, including flamingos and over 500 other bird species. In the lush evergreen forests, you may spot baboons, elephants, and the famous tree-climbing lions of Lake Manyara.
