Enjoy the wildlife!
Breakfast, lunch and dinner provided. Drinking water is also provided in the car
Tarangire National Park is almost 3000 sq km in size and is probably best known for its huge numbers of elephants and baobab trees. The name of the park comes from the Tarangire River which crosses through the park. Tarangire is especially spectacular during the dry season (June – November) as wildlife concentrations rival that of the Serengeti (since enormous populations of elephants and other animals are drawn to the Tarangire River as their only source of water). With its varied habitats and permanent water in the Tarangire River the park is home to over 2000 elephants and 500 bird species

The endless plains of Serengeti are also the setting for the world’s greatest wildlife spectacle – the 1.5 million wildebeest endless migration in search for fresh pastures. Each year they trek over 2,500km and are constantly threatened and followed by some of Africa’s greatest predators. Depending on the time of your visit, your driver-guide will be able to share with you where the herd’s current location is at.
Enjoy the morning Serengeti and then after lunch drive to the rim of Ngorongoro Crater for overnight
Breakfast, lunch and dinner provided.
Drinking water is also provided in the car
There are several documented resident lion prides just within a one-hour game drive radius from Seronera.
During the dry season, the resident prides begin to shift west and north in their territories and concentrate in the central region of the park. The dry season is a particularly good time for lion viewing in the Central Serengeti. The Central Serengeti is also one of the best areas in Africa to spot the elusive leopard. You may be lucky enough to encounter this majestic cat in the branches of the sausage trees that dot the banks of the Seronera River.
Descend into the crater for a crater game tour.
After lunch drive to overnight in Karatu.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner provided.
Drinking water is also provided in the car
Often called the eighth natural wonder of the world, the Ngorongoro Crater is the largest intact crater in the world. About 2 million years ago the Ngorongoro volcano erupted, and its walls collapsed. The volcano floor sank to create a natural enclosure with its 600m tall walls. Now, at over 19 kilometres wide, Ngorongoro Crater is filled with great areas of acacia forest, hippo filled swamps and open grasslands. These different habitats contain over 30,000 animals – including elephants, warthogs, flamingoes, magnificent birdlife, the rare black rhinoceros and all the predatory cats. The Maasai can also be seen grazing their cattle alongside the buffalo and wildebeest.
Have a lazy morning at the lodge and later your driver-guide will pick you up and drive back to Arusha via Cultural Heritage. Later on, you will be taken to a restaurant in town for lunch (on own account) and then onto Kilimanjaro International Airport for your flight out (flight details to be advised by client).
