Arusha to Tarangire National Park
After breakfast, your safari guide will drive you to Tarangire National Park. Tarangire is renowned for its large elephant families, open savannahs, iconic baobab trees, seasonal swamps, and the life-sustaining Tarangire River, where animals gather to drink and escape the heat of the African sun. During your game drive, you may spot giraffes, bushbuck, and hartebeest, as well as buffalo, zebra, and wildebeest, which in turn attract predators such as lions and leopards.
From the open roof of the safari vehicle, you will enjoy panoramic views of the landscape and excellent wildlife viewing. A picnic lunch with coffee and soft drinks will be served inside the park. After a rewarding day of exploration, you will be driven to Ngare Lodge to check in, enjoy dinner, and relax overnight.

Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, you will drive up through the Crater Highlands, stopping at the rim to enjoy a spectacular view of the Ngorongoro Crater, before continuing toward the vast plains of the Serengeti stretching as far as the eye can see. The name Serengeti means “endless plains,” and the park is home to more than two million wildebeest along with an extraordinary diversity of wildlife.
From January to April, wildebeest, plains zebra, and Thomson’s gazelle give birth to their young, attracting large predators such as lions, cheetahs, and hyenas that follow the migrating herds throughout the park. The Serengeti is also inhabited by many smaller animals, including rock hyrax, bat-eared fox, mongoose, honey badger, jackal, monkeys, baboons, and African hares, as well as over 500 species of birds.
After this thrilling game drive, you will return to camp to enjoy dinner and your overnight stay.

You will rise very early for a sunrise game drive, when animals are most active, and to witness a breathtaking African sunrise—one of the most memorable sights on safari. You will then return to camp for breakfast, check out, and continue your journey to the Ngorongoro Crater.
This immense volcanic crater is home to the highest concentration of wildlife on Earth and hosts nearly every species native to East Africa, including the rare black rhinoceros. Within the crater you will find a river, several swamps, a soda lake that appears to shimmer from above, forested areas, and wide open plains. The crater is also known for its massive bull elephants with exceptionally large tusks, a result of the mineral-rich volcanic soil and grasses.
Lunch will be enjoyed during this remarkable game drive in one of Africa’s most extraordinary natural wonders.
