Explore Tarangire's ancient baobab trees and enormous termite mounds while looking for elephants, lions, giraffes, buffaloes, cheetah, baboons, and a rich variety of birdlife. Continue to the Ngorongoro Crater for a game drive with a picnic lunch, where the crater's enclosed setting offers the chance to spot the Big Five in a single day.
