Arusha to Tarangire National Park

In the morning, you will start your safari with a drive to the Tarangire National Park. The park is roughly the size of Luxembourg and covers an area of about 2,600 sq km. Bush savannah, seasonal swamps, and giant baobab trees make up the landscape of this nature reserve. This park is probably one of the best places in East Africa to see elephants. From the open roof of the safari vehicle, you will be able to watch them and absorb the landscape. Apart from elephants, the park is also home to Maasai giraffes, various gazelles, antelopes, buffaloes, lions, leopards, baboons, and more than 500 types of birds. After an extensive game drive, you will exit the park in the evening and drive to Mto wa Mbu for an overnight stay.

Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, you will make your way to Serengeti National Park for a full-day game drive and a picnic lunch. A million wildebeest, each driven by the same ancient rhythm, fulfil their instinctive role in the inescapable cycle of life. Serengeti has really special sights, sounds, and smells of Africa, with stunning scenery, ever-changing light, and entertaining wildlife. In this park, the animals don’t walk to any schedule, so we may find lions, leopards, elephants, zebras, cheetahs, antelopes, gazelles, hippos, and many species of birds and reptiles during our game drive.

You may spend your day in the central park area, or your guide will know where to take you according to the migration season. After the late afternoon game drive, you will head to your campsite for dinner and overnight.

The wildlife here is breathtaking, and if you are lucky, you might spot the Big Five - lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard. The crater is also home to warthogs, wildebeests, zebras, hippos, hyenas, and many more. After a morning full of game viewing and a picnic lunch, you will leave the crater in the afternoon and head to Mto Wa Mbu for an overnight stay.
