Named after the Tarangire River, this park serves as the primary water source for wildlife during the dry season.

Tarangire boasts more breeding bird species than any other place on Earth, and its landscape is adorned with ancient Baobab trees, some over a thousand years old.

Day 3

Lake Manyara National Park

Lake Manyara National Park

After breakfast, head to Lake Manyara National Park, a small yet diverse park with a unique charm. Everything here is a mix of small scale and grandeur. It's compact, being one of Africa's narrowest parks, yet it's epic with the imposing Great Rift Escarpment overlooking Lake Manyara's western boundary.

The park gets its name from a shallow, salt lake that fluctuates in size with the seasons. This lake is a haven for numerous wading birds, including flamingos and over 500 other bird species. Keep an eye out for baboons and elephants in the lush evergreen forest, and be on the lookout for the renowned tree-climbing lions that have gained fame across Africa.

After a full day in the park, make a short drive to your accommodation in Karatu.

The Serengeti is truly amazing, with its expansive open grasslands providing fantastic wildlife sightings. While it's home to diverse wildlife, it's most famous for the yearly Great Migration.

Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater

Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater

After breakfast, you'll journey from Serengeti National Park to the Ngorongoro Crater. The first glimpse of the crater presents a scene from a forgotten world. Hidden within steep volcanic walls is an untouched wilderness featuring expansive savannah, patches of acacia woodland, and shimmering lakes and swamps. The crater originated from a colossal volcanic eruption and collapse two to three million years ago.

Descending into the crater is an adventure itself, and as you reach the floor, you'll be surrounded by a multitude of wildebeests, zebras, gazelles, and over 500 bird species.

The crater offers the best opportunity to spot the endangered black rhino, occasionally visible in the open grasslands. After a full afternoon exploring the crater, head to your accommodation in Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

Main Destination:

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