Arusha to Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park - Following a brief morning orientation, the journey begins in a south-westerly direction towards Tarangire National Park, renowned for its impressive elephant herds. The park boasts a variety of landscapes, including grassy areas, acacia woodlands, and forests. Wildlife ranges from flocks of yellow-breasted lovebirds to kudus, buffaloes, elands, giraffes, and the unique gerenuk. Predators such as lions, leopards, and hyenas are present, while wild dogs are a rare sight.

Tarangire Area to Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park - After breakfast, the departure from the Camp/Lodge leads to a drive through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, eventually arriving at the vast Serengeti plains for an equally spectacular wildlife viewing experience. The wooded hills around Naabi Hill Gate signify the official entrance to the Serengeti, which then opens up to the park’s iconic expansive plains. This area truly embodies the meaning of “Serengeti,” derived from the Masai “Siringet,” artistically translated as “the land that flows on forever.” Serengeti National Park spans 6,000 square miles of untouched land, offering not only breathtaking views but also the largest mammal migration on earth, including 1.5 million wildebeest.
