In the morning, you will be picked from your hotel and drive to Tarangire National Park for game viewing. The Giant baobab trees, bush savannah and the seasonal marshes add to the wonder of this nature reserve. The Tarangire National Park is considered as one of the best places to view elephants up close. Not only because there are thousands of animals but also because they are not disturbed by the presence of vehicles. The park is also home to buffaloes, zebras and wildebeests which are always closely followed by a range of predators such as lions, leopards, and cheetah. Later, you'll drive to Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge.

Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, you will travel via the cooler highlands towards the southern Serengeti and at mid-day you will reach the plains of the Serengeti. This park is the oldest and famous in Tanzania and has a diversity of habitats and landscapes—short grass plains, savannah, thick bush, swamps and lakes. Bizarre rock formations called kopjes dot the grassy landscape where predators are often seen. The Serengeti is famous for the yearly migration when hundreds of thousands of wildebeests and zebras trek to find fresh grass and water. Game viewing is good all year around with great sighting of lions, cheetah leopard, hippos, and giraffe in the evening. You'll then drive to your lodge, Serengeti Serena Lodge.

Serengeti National Park Full Day
The entire day is dedicated to game viewing in the Serengeti National Park. The areas that you visit will depend on where the migrating herds are. Predators usually follow closely behind the trekking animals and include lions, leopards (in the acacia trees) and cheetahs. During the short rainy season in November and December, the herds move from the hills in the north to the plains in the south. During the longer rainy season from April to June they return to the central part of the park. As the migration is completely dependent on the yearly rainfalls, the location of the herds may vary from year to year. However, your guide will know where to locate the animals and where to see them best. You will spend another night at last night’s lodge.
