Tarangire National Park
Day 2Tarangire National Park Tarangire National Park Today, your safari takes you to Tarangire National Park, one of Tanzania’s most exciting wildlife spots! The Tarangire River runs through the park, attracting giraffes, zebras, antelopes, and buffaloes, along with the lions that follow them. You’re almost certain to see these majestic predators! During the Dry season, the river becomes the only water source for miles, drawing huge elephant herds. Tarangire has Northern Tanzania’s largest elephant population for much of the year (especially June to October and December to March). These gentle giants aren’t shy and often come close to safari vehicles. It is completely safe, as they have no natural enemies and are simply curious.

Day 3Ngorongoro Crater Ngorongoro Crater 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.

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.
