Today, your safari adventure leads you to Tarangire National Park, one of Tanzania’s most thrilling wildlife destinations! The Tarangire River flows through the park, attracting giraffes, zebras, antelopes, and buffaloes, as well as the lions that trail behind them. You are almost guaranteed to witness these magnificent predators!

In the Dry season, the river becomes the sole water source for miles around, drawing in massive elephant herds. Tarangire boasts the largest elephant population in Northern Tanzania for a significant part of the year (especially from June to October and December to March). These gentle giants are not timid and often approach safari vehicles closely. It is perfectly safe, as they have no natural predators and are simply inquisitive.

Today, we highly recommend leaving the hotel as early as possible. Your breakfast will be packed in lunchboxes specifically for this purpose. This way, you will catch the precious morning hours in the Ngorongoro Crater when the animals are most active and extremely engaging to watch. At 6:30 AM, you will set off for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and in about an hour, you will already be inside the crater.

Ngorongoro is one of the most famous and exciting of Tanzania's national parks! Here, you can find the highest concentration of animals and the widest diversity per square kilometer. You will have the chance to see buffalos, elephants, lions, wildebeests, zebras, hippos, and feline species such as caracals and servals. The lucky travelers might even see rhinos, whose numbers are rapidly declining today.

You will have lunch near the lake inhabited by hippos and continue your safari around the crater. Closer to the evening, you will start the drive towards a hotel in Serengeti.

Serengeti is home to incredible wildlife, including lions, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, and various antelopes. You might even spot cheetahs, serval cats, and other rare species here. This landscape inspired Disney’s The Lion King, although the real Serengeti is even more breathtaking.

You have a full day to explore the Serengeti at your own pace! Your guide will help you spot the wildlife you're most excited to see and adjust the schedule to suit your preferences. You can either spend the whole day out with a picnic lunchbox or return to the lodge at midday for a break and a meal at the restaurant. The choice is yours!

Serengeti’s wildlife is endless. Just keep your eyes open and take it all in!
