Tarangire National Park - Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, you will drive to the famous Serengeti National Park via the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, enjoying a game drive en route. The aim is to reach the Serengeti Naabi Hill Gate around lunchtime. You will have a quick lunch break at the designated picnic area before crossing the gate and continuing with an afternoon game drive, searching for big cats and other wildlife. Depending on the time of year, you may also witness the Great Migration of wildebeest and zebras. After the game drive, you will head to a beautiful public campsite in the Central Serengeti for dinner and your overnight stay.

Note: if the minimum number of people is not met, the itinerary may be adjusted and you may visit Lake Manyara while additional joiners are sought. If the number is still not met, you will proceed to Serengeti on the third day regardless. Please note this is a joining tour, and while the Serengeti and Ngorongoro are more expensive, visiting all four national parks is guaranteed.
