The park is home to a rich array of species, including over 500 bird species, as well as lions, leopards, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, antelopes, and notably, elephants. In fact, Tarangire boasts the highest concentration of elephants in Tanzania, offering exceptional opportunities to witness their social behaviors up close.

Day 3-4

Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park

After an early breakfast, we’ll set off toward the world-renowned Serengeti National Park. Our journey takes us up through the crater highlands, with a brief stop at the Ngorongoro Crater rim—offering an awe-inspiring panoramic view that will leave a lasting impression, especially for first-time visitors.

The Serengeti is the stage for one of nature’s greatest spectacles: the annual migration of over two million wildebeests, accompanied by hundreds of thousands of zebras and various antelope species such as impalas and Thomson's gazelles. The park is also a prime location for spotting predators like hyenas, lions, cheetahs, and leopards. Many iconic wildlife documentaries have captured unforgettable scenes—like the dramatic river crossings—right here in this extraordinary landscape.

Main Destination:

Best Time To Visit January to February and June to October (Different areas are best at different times)

Day 5

Serengeti to Ngorongoro Conservation Area

Serengeti to Ngorongoro Conservation Area

We recommend an early wake-up to embark on a morning game drive—one of the best times to observe wildlife, as the animals are most active and the golden sunrise over the Serengeti is simply unforgettable. After the drive, we’ll return to camp for a well-earned brunch before continuing our journey to the Ngorongoro Crater, often referred to as the 8th Wonder of the Natural World.

It’s one of the few places on the continent where you may spot the critically endangered black rhino. The crater’s unique ecosystem features rivers, swamps, a soda lake frequented by flamingos, dense forests, and expansive grasslands. It’s also renowned for its enormous elephants, known for their impressively large tusks. A visit to the Ngorongoro Crater is truly an encounter with one of nature’s greatest masterpieces.

Following lunch, we’ll embark on a short final game drive before ascending the crater rim and making our way back towards Arusha. We anticipate arriving in Arusha around 5:00 PM, but we remain flexible in case of onward travel plans or other special arrangements.
