Enjoy your breakfast at Tumbili Lodge before departing to Tarangire National Park for a full-day game drive with your packed picnic lunch. The park is located slightly off the main safari route. Tarangire National Park is a lovely quiet park in Northern Tanzania.

Day 3
Ngorongoro Crater Tour + Maasai Village Visit to Serengeti National Park
Ngorongoro Crater Tour + Maasai Village Visit to Serengeti National Park
Another must-see destination in Tanzania is the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater, located in northern Tanzania. Thought to be the result of a volcanic explosion, this fertile valley is one the most beautiful natural wildlife safari destinations in the world and has even been named one of Africa’s Seven Natural Wonders. The enclosed nature of the crater has created an ecosystem all of its own, resulting in some of the best opportunities to spot game. It also has the densest known population of lions. Buffalo, elephants, leopards, and rhinos can also be seen here, in addition to a host of other well-loved African classics like the ostrich, zebra, cheetah, wildebeest, gazelle, and even hippo. Before heading to Serengeti, visit a Maasai village for an authentic cultural experience. After exploring Ngorongoro Crater, continue to Serengeti National Park for dinner and an overnight stay, ready for the next day’s exciting game drives.

Day 4
Game Drive in the Serengeti National Park to Karatu
Game Drive in the Serengeti National Park to Karatu
Game viewing is superb all year round in the Serengeti. Enjoy your breakfast at your accommodation and drive out with your packed picnic lunch. The park is home to the Big Five (although rhinos are rarely seen), and is particularly renowned for its predators—leopard, cheetah, lion and hyena—which are regularly spotted. The Serengeti also plays host to the phenomenal Great Migration, which sees millions of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle traversing the open plains of the park in search of fresh grass from seasonal rains. The dramatic scenes of huge herds on the move, crossing rivers and vast plains and pursued by predators looking for their next kill, are the stuff nature documentaries are made of. Experiencing the Great Migration is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime event that most safari travellers have at the top of their bucket lists. Later transit the Ngorongoro Conservation Area to Karatu for dinner and an overnight stay.
