Marvelous Tarangire National Park

Today you will drive into the Tarangire National Park, which has the highest concentration of wildlife after the Serengeti. During the dry season, the Tarangire River is a magnet for thirsty wildlife. Whether wildebeests, zebras, lions, elephants, impalas, buffaloes, giraffes or gazelles – the Tarangire National Park is not only home to migratory herds and various predators, but also hundreds of impressive bird species. So it's worth keeping your eyes open for the little things, too! The Tarangire National Park is also known for its spectacular baobabs (monkey-bread trees), as well as for its breathtaking views of the Maasai steppe and mountains to the south.

Game drive in Serengeti National Park

Start your safari today in the most famous wildlife reserve in the world – the Serengeti. In the Maasai language, "Sirengeti" means "endless plain". The steppe gained worldwide fame through Bernhard Grzimek's documentary "Serengeti Shall Not Die”. In addition to the vast grassland, from which granite rocks known as "Kopjes" often protrude, there are also incredible natural spectacles awaiting you in the oldest national park in Tanzania. More than 1.5 million wildebeest, hundreds of thousands of Thomson's gazelles, 200,000 zebras, elephants, lions, cheetahs, giraffes and many other species live there. Depending on the season, your guide will choose the area where you are most likely to observe the migratory herds, which can be up to 40 km in length. During the annual migration, about 2 million wildebeests and zebras move along the best grazing grounds in a cycle which is always the same. And of course, the big cats follow them.

Game drive in Ngorongoro Crater

A full-day safari in the largest volcanic crater in the world promises unique experiences!. The crater also has the highest predator density in Africa. Elephants hide in the thickets of the jungle on the crater walls, while zebras, wildebeests, antelopes and buffaloes frolic in the unique landscape on the crater floor. Ngorongoro Crater is also the place you are most likely to see all of the Big Five – elephant, black rhino, buffalo, lion and leopard. You will be particularly lucky if you discover one of the endangered black rhinos because, apart from in the crater, there are only a few of them living in the Serengeti. What is special about the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is that, unlike other national parks, the Maasai can live side by side with the wildlife to continue their culture and rituals in the place in which they have been doing so for centuries.

Main Destination:

Ngorongoro Crater

Best Time To Visit June to October (Wildlife viewing is best)

High Season Most of the year – July to March (Expect crowds)

Best Weather June to October (Rainfall is little to none)
