Arusha Transfer to Tarangire National Park for game Viewing
Morning: Explore one of Tanzania’s most rewarding national parks, a land of big baobab trees, big elephants and big cats. No wonder this ends up being the favorite park in Tanzania for many visitors. Sightings of wildebeest, giraffes, hippos, buffaloes, baboons, vervet monkeys and zebras are also almost guaranteed. Lions are plentiful here – Tarangire is home to one of Tanzania’s healthiest lion populations. While you’ll have to work a little harder to see a cheetah or leopard, it will only enhance your excitement when you do. You can also look forward to classic safari scenery – savannah plains, river woodlands and rocky hills.
Lunch: We will enjoy a picnic lunch in the park.
Afternoon: After lunch, we’ll continue our game-viewing drive to witness the wildlife of Tarangire National Park. Afterwards, we’ll head to our lodgings, a permanent camp inside Tarangire National Park.

Game viewing Ngorongoro crater & transfer to Serengeti National Park
Morning: We drive through the Ngorongoro before descending, 610 meters down to the grasslands of the crater floor, an area of about 265 square kilometers. Despite its small size, the Crater is a Big 5 country and the openness of the terrain means easy and rewarding game viewing. You will spend 7 hours exploring the crater floor, stopping to picnic on the grasslands amidst the grazing herds. Formed by a massive volcanic eruption, the world’s largest intact and un-flooded caldera provides a year-round home to an astonishing 25,000 large mammals including black rhino, and zebra
The Crater’s forests shelter elephants and buffalo, and its wetlands are home to hippos and flamingos while lions, leopards, and caracals make up the full range of predators. After lunch, you leave the crater behind and drive to the Serengeti.
Lunch: picnic in the presence of hippo
Afternoon: We’ll reach our carefully selected tented camp by mid-afternoon and you’ll have time to settle in before dinner.

Exploring the great migration Northern Serengeti National Park & Overnight
You'll spend your day exploring the northern reaches of the Serengeti on safari, tracking the great array of game and wildlife that this vast area offers. If you’re there at the right time for the great migration (depending on the season), this is the region where the herds are at their most concentrated as they seek to cross the Mara River to reach the open grasslands beyond, and it’s where (if you’re lucky) you’ll see iconic river crossings. It’s also an area of untamed natural beauty, of rolling hills, rivers, forests, and open plains.
Highlights:
Where the Great Migration puts on part of its great show
It’s big, like 1.5 million hectares big
Offers some of the best wildlife viewing in Africa
Home to the Big Five, as well as a mighty big lion population
Evening: You'll spend the nights in the so-called migration camp, strategically located close to the migration, ensuring you won’t miss a single moment of the action.

As the lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, and jackals stalk them.
