Reach Tarangire Park Guide: Elephants, Baobabs and Game Drives and kick off your safari with a thrilling morning game drive. The park is known for its dense elephant population, varied birdlife and dramatic baobab-studded scenery. Lions, giraffes, zebras, buffalo and plenty of plains game are likely here too.

After lunch in the park, a late-afternoon game drive follows, just as the animals become more active in the cooler air. Later in the evening you transfer to yourr lodge for dinner and a restful night in a quiet bush setting.

Once breakfast is over, you leave Tarangire for Serengeti National Park by way of the scenic Ngorongoro Highlands. On the route you can enjoy sweeping views over crater landscapes, rolling hills and Maasai settlements.

You reach the Serengeti in the afternoon and check in at your tented camp. After settling in, you can enjoy the wilderness around you, or choose an optional evening game drive to watch wildlife as the sun goes down over the plains.

Once you have eaten, set off for a game drive lasting all day in Serengeti National Park, one of the most wildlife-rich ecosystems in Africa. As hours pass you look for the Big Five along with zebras, giraffes, hyenas and cheetahs, and sizeable herds of grazers crossing the plains.

Lunch is a picnic on the savannah at midday, while your guide explains animal behaviour, ecosystems and, where relevant, seasonal migration patterns. Late in the afternoon you head back to camp to relax and have dinner under the African sky.

Begin the morning with an optional hot air balloon safari, which gives panoramic views of the Serengeti at sunrise and ends with a bush breakfast. If you prefer, take a morning game drive before leaving the Serengeti.

You then pass through the Ngorongoro Highlands to reach your lodge close to the crater rim. The remainder of the day is yours to rest and get ready for tomorrow’s crater exploration.

Once the early breakfast is over, you travel down into the Ngorongoro Crater for a morning game drive. This natural sanctuary shelters lions, elephants, buffalo, zebras, hippos, flamingos and the endangered black rhino. Its enclosed ecosystem also gives exceptional wildlife density and plenty of photo chances.

Lunch is followed by a visit to a nearby Maasai village, where you discover traditional ways of life and cultural heritage. In the afternoon you carry on to Kilimanjaro International Airport for your onward flight, bringing a rich safari to a close.
