Serengeti national park – Ngorongoro Crater full-game drive
Serengeti national park – Ngorongoro Crater full-game drive
On the Serengeti, this whole day is set aside for game drives. The Serengeti is home to a lot of animals, like impala, buffalo, crocodiles, and hippos. However, it is best known for the large herds of zebra, antelope, and wildebeest that move through it. The animals move based on how much rain there is, which changes from year to year. In November and December, animals move from the north, where there are mostly forests and hills, to the south, where there are grassy plains. From April to June, when it rains more, they go back to the north. Aside from the herds that move, we might also get to see leopards, cheetahs, and lions, who live there, doing their part in the circle of life. After a day we’ll never forget, we’ll go back to our accommodations to rest, eat, and sleep on The Endless Plain.

Tarangire National Park to Arusha city
Tarangire National Park to Arusha city
After breakfast, our Hodophile Adventures professional Tanzania safari tour guide will pick you up at your hotel with your driver and take you to Tarangire National Park. It will take about two hours to get there. This nature reserve is really cool because it has big baobab trees, bush savannahs, and marshes that dry up for part of the year. People say that Tarangire National Park is one of the best places to get close to elephants. The Park is also home to buffalo, zebras, and wildebeests. Lions and leopards are always nearby, but cheetahs aren’t seen very often in this area. From the open roof of your safari car, you’ll have a great view of the landscape and animals. You will have a picnic lunch with a view of the Tarangire River and go on a game drive in the afternoon before going to your accommodations, which are inside the park. In the late afternoon, you will go back to Arusha for your last night.
