Day 1 Tarangire National Park
After a safari briefing in the morning and an approximately two-hour drive, you will arrive at Tarangire National Park. Giant baobab trees, bush savannah, and seasonal marshes add to the wonder of this nature reserve. Tarangire is considered one of the best places to view elephants up close. The park is also home to buffaloes, zebras, and wildebeests, which are always closely followed by a range of predators such as lions. Leopards are seen now and then but cheetahs are rarely spotted here. From the open roof of the safari jeep, you will be able to absorb the landscape and watch the animals. In the late afternoon, you will leave the park and drive to the lodge where you will spend the night.

Day 2 Tarangire National Park- Serengeti Plains
After breakfast, you will travel via the cooler highlands towards the eastern Serengeti. You’ll reach the plains of Serengeti National Park by midday. This park is the largest in Tanzania and has a diversity of habitats and landscapes—short grass plains, savannah, thick bush, swamps, and lakes. Bizarre rock formations called kopjes dot the grassy landscape. Predators are often seen here. The Serengeti is famous for the yearly migration when hundreds of thousands of wildebeests and zebras trek to find fresh grass and water. You will spend the night at Tukaone Serengeti Camp inside the park.

Day 4 Ngorongoro Crater
After an early breakfast, you will descend over 600 meters into the crater to view wildlife. Supported by a year-round water and food supply, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is home to a vast array of animals, including herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque national park are its predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard—which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot. We will visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, which is one of the main features of the crater. Many flamingos, hippos, and other water birds can usually be seen here. In the late afternoon you’ll transfer to the lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.

The park is also famous for its tree climbing lions. During the safari you will also see elephants, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, hippos, and many other animal species.
