Tarangire has an area of approximately 2603 square Kilometers and within the park it is possible to see plenty of animals like the giraffes, Zebras, Buffalos, warthogs, Lions, Leopards, Impala, gazelles, dik dik and many more species. In this park, there are more than 500 birds’ species like the bee eaters, swallows, ostriches, Kori bustards, hamerkops, vultures etc. The word Tarangire comes from Mbugwe tribe whereby “Tara” means river and “Ngire” means warthogs therefore it is the river of warthogs. The Tarangire River is the life-giving opportunity for both herbivores and carnivores and it is the best spot for the lions to hunt their prey as they search for water especially during the dry season. Lunch will be served at a picnic site. Evening after the game drive you will be drive to the lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.

After breakfast, check out and begin your scenic drive to Serengeti National Park, passing through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Along the way, enjoy a picnic lunch as you travel through the stunning landscapes. Your journey will take you past the Nabi Hill Gate, where you’ll register and enter Serengeti National Park, enjoying a brief lunch stop. Before proceeding to the Central Serengeti, stop at Maasai Boma, a traditional Maasai village, where you will immerse yourself in their rich culture, learning about their customs, lifestyle, and unique way of life.

Picnic lunch will be served at a picnic site. Continue your game drive en-route to the Central Serengeti, where you may encounter a variety of wildlife, including big cats, elephants, and more. The park’s breathtaking scenery adds to the magic of your wildlife experience, making it just as memorable as the animals you’ll spot. Later in the afternoon, check in at the camp, for dinner, and overnight stay.

You will have breakfast at the lodge, then continue with a full day game viewing in central Serengeti. The Serengeti, means endless plains in the local African language and watching the grassland stretch out as far as the eye can see and eventually merging with the sky at the horizon is an absolutely breathtaking view. The Serengeti also houses the glorious “Big 5” (elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion and leopard). Along with the “Big 5”, a very pleasant sighting would be one of Africa’s most beautiful animals – The Impala. The Serengeti ecosystem supports the greatest remaining concentration of plains game in Africa. The legendary Serengeti National Park is the most renowned safari destination for its incredible population of lions and leopards. The central portion of the Serengeti - known as Seronera area is one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park. It features the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti’s species. In Seronera, one must really look out for the many lion prides that thrive in this region. A picnic lunch will be served. Later drive back to your lodge for dinner and your overnight.

Breakfast at the camp, then drive to Ngorongoro Crater Rim, spend few minutes on the Rim to view the Crater from the top, descend into the crater for a wonderful game drive (with a picnic lunch) inside the Ngorongoro Crater on World Heritage Site holding a permanent population of more than 30 000 animals. As only very few of those migrate in and out of the crater with its 2000 ft. high walls, you can expect to see lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, flamingos, jackals, rhinos, antelopes, many birds and other species.
