Arusha to Tarangire National Park

After breakfast, you will be picked up from your hotel in Arusha at 8:00 AM and begin a scenic three-hour drive to Tarangire National Park, located about 115 km from Arusha. The park covers an area of approximately 2,800 square kilometers and is named after the Tarangire River, which serves as a vital water source for wildlife, especially during the dry season.

Enjoy a full-day game drive through the park, where you’ll encounter a wide variety of wildlife - including large herds of elephants, tree-climbing pythons, and the iconic baobab trees. Keep your camera ready for sightings of lions, leopards, zebras, and many other species that make Tarangire such a remarkable destination.

In the evening, you will drive to Omega View Lodge for dinner and an overnight stay, surrounded by the sounds of the African wilderness.

DAY 3

Tarangire National Park to Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, pack up and begin your journey toward the world-renowned Serengeti National Park. Enjoy an en-route game drive as you exit Tarangire, carrying your picnic lunch to enjoy along the way. The drive offers breathtaking views of the Great Rift Valley and the Ngorongoro Crater highlands, with several scenic stops for photos and wildlife spotting.

You’ll arrive in the Serengeti around 3:00 PM, just in time for an evening game drive in the central region of the park. Experience the endless golden plains alive with wildlife - lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, and countless herds of wildebeests and zebras.

As the sun sets over the Serengeti, head to your campsite for a hearty dinner and an overnight stay under the vast African sky.

DAY 4

Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater

Wake up early at 5:45 AM to catch the breathtaking Serengeti sunrise, followed by a hearty breakfast at camp. Afterward, set out for a morning game drive through the vast plains, where the wildlife is most active during the early hours. Expect to encounter lions returning from a night’s hunt, herds of wildebeest grazing, and perhaps a cheetah on the prowl.

Around 11:30 AM, return to the campsite for a hot lunch, then pack your belongings into the safari vehicle. Enjoy another en-route game drive as you exit Serengeti, heading toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

Arrive at your campsite near the crater rim in the evening, where you’ll be treated to a delicious dinner and a peaceful overnight stay surrounded by cool highland air. This day offers a perfect blend of adventure, wildlife encounters, and stunning landscapes as you transition from the endless plains of the Serengeti to the breathtaking Ngorongoro highlands.
