Day 3

Ngorongoro cracter and serengeti

Ngorongoro cracter and serengeti

The Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park are two of Africa’s most iconic safari destinations, combining dramatic scenery with remarkable wildlife. The Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the world’s largest unbroken volcanic caldera and shelters over 25,000 animals within its natural enclosure. Its grasslands, acacia forests, and soda lake support lions, elephants, buffalo, zebras, hippos, flamingos, and the rare black rhino, making it one of the best places to see the Big Five in a single day. From Ngorongoro, the journey continues into the vast Serengeti, nearly 15,000 square kilometers of open savannah famed for the Great Migration. Each year, millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles move in search of fresh grazing, followed closely by lions, leopards, and hyenas. With elephants, giraffes, cheetahs, and abundant birdlife, the Serengeti offers incredible wildlife encounters and a powerful sense of untouched wilderness.

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

Day 4

Tarangire national park

Tarangire national park

Tarangire National Park is one of Tanzania’s hidden gems, offering a quieter and more intimate safari experience away from the crowds. Just a few hours from Arusha, the park is known for its iconic baobab trees, large elephant herds, and dramatic seasonal landscapes. The Tarangire River, the park’s lifeline, draws huge numbers of animals during the dry season from June to October, creating one of the greatest wildlife concentrations outside the Serengeti. Elephants are the stars here, with herds of up to 300 roaming the plains or gathering under ancient baobabs. The park is also a paradise for bird lovers, boasting over 500 species, including colorful rollers and the endemic Ashy starling. Lions, leopards, and cheetahs are present too, thriving in habitats ranging from grassy plains to acacia woodlands and swamps. With its peaceful atmosphere and rich wildlife, Tarangire offers an authentic and unforgettable safari experience.
