Begin your safari adventure at Tarangire, Tanzania's third-largest national park and sanctuary for an unusually large elephant population. Majestic baobab trees are an interesting feature of the park, dwarfing the animals that feed beneath them. Animals concentrate along the Tarangire River, which provides only the area’s water supply. There is a great diversity of wildlife including lions, leopards, cheetahs, and up to six thousand elephants.

At Tarangire National Park you will experience an unrivalled landscape of open plains, dotted with thousands of baobabs. Not only does the meandering Tarangire River attract a vast number of wildlife, but the Park is renowned for its huge elephant herds, enabling visitors to see entire herds of elephant families.

After breakfast, depart to Manyara Airstrip to catch your flight to the Serengeti. On arrival your guide will take you for an afternoon game drive.

Afternoon Game Drive: Serengeti National Park We will spend two full days in this wildlife haven, traversing the savannah on thrilling game drives. Witness the Great Migration (if timing aligns) and connect with nature at its most raw.

After breakfast, you will venture the corners of the mighty Serengeti plains for a full-day game drive, following the great migration and spotting prides of lions, cheetahs, leopards and so much more. Opt-in for a breathtaking hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti at dawn (see below)!

Serengeti National Park is the best-known wildlife sanctuary in the world and boasts the greatest concentration of plains game in all of Africa. Established in 1952, it is home to the great migration of wildebeest and zebra. The Park can be divided into 3 sections:

The southern/central part (Seronera Valley) with its classic savannah dotted with acacias and filled with wildlife.

The western corridor is marked by the Grumeti River, and has more forests and dense bush.

The north, which meets with Kenya’s Masai Mara Reserve, is the least visited section.

This will be your last breakfast in the wilderness. Afterwards your guide will give a short en-route game drive before you arrive at the Seronera Airstrip for your flight to Arusha.
