Day 1: Tarangire National Park
After an early breakfast followed by a Safari briefing by your guide you are off—to Tarangire! “The Park with giant baobab trees and bush savannah” is also famed for the congregation of wild animals attracted to drinking, feeding and wallowing in its marshes. Close-up views of Elephants in this park is legendary. Reputedly some of the largest elephant herds in Africa call Tarangire home. It is a sanctuary to many an animal species. You will absorb the landscape and watch the animals from a roof pop-up Safari vehicle. You will be able to especially view three rare species: The Greater Kudu, the Fringe-eared Oryx and some Ashy Starlings. A picnic lunch is a welcome break in the early afternoon before continuing with the afternoon game drive. In the evening you will drive to your accommodation where a hot and delicious dinner awaits you. (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner).

Day 2: Serengeti National Park
After an early breakfast you will drive to Serengeti National Park through the Rift Valley. Serengeti (from the Maa-language word for “endless plains”) is the oldest national park in Tanzania founded back in 1951. It is the heart of a vast ecosystem, whose species–rich animal world is simply “uniquely unique”. The Serengeti together with the Ngorongoro and the Maasai Mara in Kenya forms one of the world’s largest natural migration systems for wild animals. The Serengeti, with about 3 million larger mammals, boasts the richest wildlife worldwide. Annually over 1.4 million Wildebeest, almost 300,000 Thomson’s Gazelles, about 200,000 Zebras and a thousand Topis migrate within the three game parks’ collective territory. The animals follow the rainy seasons and lush, greener meadows. After your viewing, you will drive to your Camp where dinner and sleeping quarters await you. (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner).

Day 3: Serengeti National Park
After breakfast you will leave carrying a packed lunch. The entire day is dedicated to game viewing in the Serengeti. The areas that you visit will depend upon the sighting of the migrating herds. Predators include Lions, Leopards (in the Acacia trees) and athletic Cheetahs usually trek closely behind the prey. During the short (November-December) rainy season the herds move from the hills in the North to the plains in the South. In the course of the longer (April – June) rainy season they find their way back North. As the migration fully depends on the patterns of the annual rains, location of the herds may vary from year to year. Your guide will know how to locate the animals and where to see them best. Late in the evening you will head back to your accommodation facility for hot Dinner and overnight accommodation. (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner).

Day 4: Serengeti National Park – Ngorongoro Crater
After early breakfast you will depart to Ngorongoro Crater. With a diameter of 17-21 kilometers, the crater is home to a great number of animals. Only a few animal species such as the graceful giraffe cannot be seen in crater due to the steep rock wall in which these animals are unlikely to survive from a fall. There is a real thrill due to the good chances of watching the “big five of “Lion, Elephant, Buffalo, Rhino and Leopard” within just a few hours and in close proximity. In the afternoon, you will be driven up and out to Karatu for dinner and overnight stay. (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner).

Day 5: Ngorongoro Crater – Arusha/JRO
After leisurely breakfast, you will travel back to Arusha. This marks end of your Safari and beginning of your next destination. (Breakfast).
