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: Ngorongoro Crater

After an early breakfast, you descend over 600m down and into a unique “wild-animal-world amphitheatre” for an unforgettable half-day game drive. the Crater, which enjoys a year-round water supply and therefore abundant fodder, supports – within its diameter of 17-21 kilometers – an impressive animal variety such as the “big five of “Lion, Elephant, Buffalo, Rhino and Leopard”. Here abound giant herds of Wildebeest, Zebra, Buffalo, Eland, Warthog, Hippo and African Elephants. With the impressive food chain, predators such as Hyenas, Jackals and Cheetahs can be easily spotted. With the help of trained eye of guides, the shy and elusive Leopard can also be seen.  After your picnic lunch you will start ascending from the Crater to Serengeti National Park for hot dinner and overnight stay.

Day 3

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. Late in the evening you will head back to your accommodation facility for hot dinner and overnight. (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner).
