7-Day Tanzania Safari through Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro

After breakfast, your driver-guide will collect you and your safari will commence. You will drive from Arusha to Tarangire National Park, a journey of approximately 3 hours.

The park takes its name from the Tarangire River that crosses through it, the only source of water for wild animals during the dry season. Tarangire is famous for its huge number of elephants, baobab trees, and tree-climbing African pythons. The park covers an area of approximately 2,850 square kilometers.

You will enjoy a full day of game viewing, with a picnic lunch overlooking the river to break up the time in the car. After a rewarding game drive before dark, you will continue to the lodge or campsite for dinner and an overnight stay.

After breakfast, you will travel via the cooler highlands towards the southern Serengeti, and by midday you will reach the plains of Serengeti National Park. This park is the largest in Tanzania and has a diversity of habitats and landscapes - short grass plains, savannah, thick bush, swamps, and lakes.

Bizarre rock formations called kopjes dot the grassy landscape, where predators are often seen. The Serengeti is famous for the yearly migration, when hundreds of thousands of wildebeests and zebras trek in search of fresh grass and water. You will spend the night at Serengeti Camp.

The entire day is dedicated to game viewing in the Serengeti. The areas that you visit will depend upon where the migrating herds are. Predators usually follow closely behind the trekking animals and include lions, leopards in the acacia trees, and cheetahs.

During the short rainy season in November and December, the herds move from the hills in the north to the plains in the south. During the longer rainy season from April to June, they return north. As the migration is completely dependent on the yearly rainfall, the location of the herds may vary from year to year, but your guide will know where to locate the animals and where to see them best. You will spend the night at Kisura Serengeti Camp.

Enjoy a full day of game drives in Northern Serengeti in Kogatende (the Mara River area) to take in the Great Migration experience. If you are lucky, you may witness a Mara River crossing.
