Day 2
Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park
Your safari guide will pick you up from your accommodation after breakfast. You will be driven to Tarangire National Park. This transit drive is approximately two and a half hours on good tarmac roads.
The park is named after the Tarangire River which runs through it. This ‘river of warthogs’ is the only source of water for wildlife in the region during the dry season. The Park is well known for its elephant families, which can often be seen congregating by the river. You may also see giraffes, bush-buck, and hartebeest.
These animals are closely followed by a range of predators, including lions and leopards. There are more breeding species of birds found in Tarangire than anywhere else on the planet! The huge and ancient baobab trees can be seen here. Some of them are said to have lived for more than a thousand years.
Lunch will be at a picnic site inside the park.

Tarangire to Serengeti National Park
Tarangire to Serengeti National Park
After an early breakfast, you'll depart for the most famous national park in the world, the Serengeti. The driving itself, although long, is spectacular. This will be an unforgettable moment for anyone seeing it for the first time. As you progress well into the Serengeti, you will see why the name means, in a local language, "endless plains."
The park has 6,900 sq miles (18,000 sq km) and for most of it, the plains will stretch to the horizon, defying your senses and perception of distances. It is the home of the Great Migration and to 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and all kinds of antelopes. As for big cats and large predators, it's the place of choice to look out for lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas, with many television scenes like the famous River Crossings having been filmed in this park.

Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater
Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater
After breakfast, you will drive up into the cooler regions of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. When you first see Ngorongoro Crater, it looks like a forgotten world. Concealed by the steep volcanic walls is a pristine wilderness, including sweeping savannah, pockets of acacia woodlands, and glistening lakes and swamps.
The crater was created when a large volcano exploded and collapsed in on itself two to three million years ago, and it covers an area of 260 km². The crater is famous for both its geological delights and for being a natural reserve that is home to some of the densest large mammal populations in the whole of the African continent.
After you descend into the crater, you quickly find yourself amongst large numbers of wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, and more than 500 bird species. The Crater provides you with the best chance of seeing the endangered black rhinos.
You will then move on to Kilimanjaro Airport.
