Today you will be collected from the hotel in Arusha by your safari guide and start the driving to Tarangire national park, passing through Maasai plans with scattered acacia trees, as you zipping along you will pass through many Maasai dressing in their colourful dress grazing their Cattles, riding bicycle while others riding the donkey Carts, arriving in Tarangire national park for game drive.

Tarangire National Park is almost 3000 sq km in size and is probably best known for its huge numbers of elephants and baobab trees. The name of the park comes from the Tarangire River which crosses through the park.

Tarangire is especially spectacular during the dry season (June - November) as wildlife concentrations rival that of the Serengeti (since enormous populations of elephants and other animals are drawn to the Tarangire River as their only source of water). With its varied habitats and permanent water in the Tarangire River the park is home to over 2000 elephants and 500 bird species.

North - Central Serengeti
Leopard-Samburu-National-Reserve-Kenya

Today you will have the half game drive in Northern Serengeti then later on the evening you will drive back to Central Serengeti, enjoy the game drive on the way.

The Central Serengeti offers superb game viewing all year round due to its abundance of resident animals. Specifically, the Seronera River Valley in the Central Serengeti is a ‘must see’ on every safari regardless of the specific month of travel.

Game viewing in Central Serengeti is at its best during the dry season (June - November) as resident animals are more concentrated in the immediate area due to the lack of water on the plains. Resident herbivores include impala, buffalo, hippo, warthog, topi, hartebeest and giraffe. Resident carnivores include lion and leopard.

After breakfast you will start half day game in this wonderful park of Serengeti national park before driving to Ngorongoro Conservation area later on the day.

There are several documented resident lion prides just within a one-hour game drive radius from Seronera. During the dry season, the resident prides begin to shift west and north in their territories and concentrate in the central region of the park.

The dry season is a particularly good time for lion viewing in the Central Serengeti The Central Serengeti is also one of the best areas in Africa to spot the elusive leopard. You may be lucky enough to encounter this majestic cat in the branches of the sausage trees that dot the banks of the Seronera River.

Today after the breakfast, you will descend into the crater for a crater game tour. Enjoy Crater game drive.

Often called the eighth natural wonder of the world, the Ngorongoro Crater is the largest intact crater in the world. About 2 million years ago the Ngorongoro volcano erupted, and its walls collapsed. The volcano floor sank to create a natural enclosure with its 600m tall walls. Now, at over 19 kilometres wide, Ngorongoro Crater is filled with great areas of acacia forest, hippo filled swamps and open grasslands. These different habitats contain over 30,000 animals – including elephants, warthogs, flamingoes, magnificent birdlife, the rare black rhinoceros and all the predatory cats. The Maasai can also be seen grazing their cattle alongside the buffalo and wildebeest.

Later on you will drive to Arusha at 4 pm for the flight and proceed to Kilimanjaro International airport for the flight back home (You will advise the flight time for airport drop off)
