The park is named after the Tarangire River, the only source of water for wildlife in the region during the dry season. Known for its large elephant herds, the park offers excellent opportunities to observe these magnificent animals congregating by the river. You may also encounter giraffes, bushbuck, and hartebeest, with predators such as lions and leopards often nearby.

Tarangire is also home to one of the highest diversities of bird species anywhere on the planet. Ancient baobab trees are found throughout the park, some of which are believed to be over a thousand years old. A picnic lunch will be served at a designated site inside the park.

After your game drive, you will transfer to your accommodation in Karatu.

This morning, you will gently wend your way back through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Conservation Area, seeing more animals along the way. You should reach the crater by lunchtime.

When you first see Ngorongoro Crater, it looks like a forgotten world. Concealed by steep volcanic walls, it is a pristine wilderness of sweeping savannah, pockets of acacia woodland, and glistening lakes and swamps. The crater was created when a large volcano exploded and collapsed in on itself two to three million years ago.

The drive down into the crater is an adventure in itself, and once you reach the crater floor, you quickly find yourself among large numbers of wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, and more than 500 bird species. The crater also provides one of the best chances to see the endangered black rhino, which can sometimes be spotted in the open grasslands.

After an afternoon game drive, you will drive to your accommodation in Karatu.
