The gorgeous Silale Swamp, towards the south of the park, is magnificent and almost always rich in wildlife taking advantage of this reliable water source. The park provides water not only from the swamp but also from the Tarangire River. During the dry season, it’s the primary source of water for animals from the entire area, making for fantastic viewing.

Tarangire to Serengeti National Park
Tarangire to Serengeti National Park
Today you will visit Ndutu. This stunning area lies south of the Serengeti and west of Ngorongoro but it sees very few of the
travelers who make their way between the two. It all makes for a quieter, more intimate experience, but it also offers the best of both worlds, because it's a terrific area for seeing big cats and other wildlife, especially when the great migration passes through. Expect horizons that seem to go on forever and an extraordinary spray of stars in the night sky.
