Day 2

In the heart of Tarangire National Park

In the heart of Tarangire National Park

From Arusha, we proceed to Tarangire National Park for our game drive. It is one of the largest national parks in Tanzania and is located in the Manyara region. The park is characterized by the large herds of elephants, tree-climbing lions, and the fascinating baobab trees (also called the "tree of life" for the almost mythical powers that some cultures attach to it). This park is especially well-known for the Tarangire River which flows all year round and is the only source of water for wild animals during dry seasons.

Tarangire retains an air of undiscovered Africa, as it is less visited than other northern Tanzanian parks. It is a haven for birds. About 550 bird species, the world’s largest selection found in one habitat, find their home in Tarangire. The stocking-thighed ostrich, the world’s largest bird, might greet you in its party dress of plumes!

This ancient ecosystem continues to thrive, and wildebeests, zebras, gazelles and giraffes are often seen grazing in herds.

We then depart from Tarangire and drive to Central Serengeti via Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

Day 4-5

Great Migration, Mara River crossing, hunting Crocodiles

Great Migration, Mara River crossing, hunting Crocodiles

After an early breakfast, you will depart for a full-day game drive in northern Serengeti, near the Tanzania and Kenya border. Your game drives will focus on seeing the wildebeest migration and especially on the river crossing. Later in the evening, you will enjoy the campfire dinner and overnight at your camp.

Many visitors only want to see the river crossings, but the true spectacle of the migration is more than 1,245,000 wildebeests, 200,000 Burchell’s zebras, 18,000 elands, and 500,000 Thomson’s gazelles filling the entire stretch of landscape. The shifting columns of the herds as they traverse the valleys and the hills can only be watched in awe. There is nothing else like this on earth.
Hundreds of thousands of wildebeest can congregate at crossing points, all crossing in a single continuous wave of beasts. This happens while tooth and claw are waiting around the sides to pick off the weak and the careless.
