6-Day Tanzania Safari through Tarangire Serengeti and Ngorongoro

• Pick up from the airport and transfer to your hotel (Tulia Spa & Boutique). Later, you will be briefed on the tour.

Note: Lodges inside the park are comfortable, but you can opt for an upgrade to lodges of your choice at an extra charge, with recommendations such as Serena or Sopa lodges in Serengeti or Ngorongoro.

• Pick up from your hotel at 7:30 and drive to Tarangire National Park, a 2-hour drive. The park is famous for its diverse landscape and is particularly known for its abundance of ancient baobab trees and the largest concentration of elephants in the country. It provides unique chances to observe the interaction between elephant families.
• Enjoy a game drive through the park depending on reported animal sightings, mostly predators such as lions, cheetahs, and leopards, as they are harder to spot, while herbivores such as giraffes, wildebeest, and zebras are plentiful throughout the park.
• Later, head to the Tarangire River picnic site and enjoy the beautiful view of the river and animals. While having lunch, small monkeys and baboons may try to scare you away from your lunch, but there is nothing to worry about.
• After lunch, continue with the game drive and exit the park around 4:30 pm, then head to your accommodation (Fig Big Tree Lodge & Campsite) for dinner and overnight stay.

Meals included: Lunch, Dinner

• Visit a Maasai village (optional) to explore the culture of the great Maasai tribe, known for traditions such as chasing lions from their kill and hunting lions to be considered a warrior. While many of these traditions are now a thing of the past, except drinking raw animal blood, you can surely learn something from the visit. Duration: 20-45 minutes. This optional visit is not included in the price, and many clients choose not to do it. Entrance fee: USD 10-20.
