The itinerary

Day 01

Tarangire National Park Safari

  • Pick up from the hotel early, around 8:30 a.m., and transfer to Tarangire National Park. This is one of the best-kept secrets of the northern circuit. The park covers an area of 2,850 sq km and offers unique and diverse landscapes. The permanent presence of water in the area makes it a good choice, especially during the dry season (June - Oct, Dec - Feb), as plenty of wild animals migrate here. The park is home to big baobab trees, mammals, elephants, and other carnivores.
  • Have lunch inside the park and enjoy an afternoon game drive.
  • In the evening, transfer to the lodge.

Day 02

Journey to Serengeti National Park

  • After breakfast, transfer to Serengeti National Park through the Ngorongoro area. It is the most desirable and ultimate safari experience. The "land of endless plains," covering an area of 14,760 sq km, is divided roughly into short-grass and woodland areas.
  • Have lunch inside the park and enjoy an afternoon game drive.
  • In the evening, return to the lodge.

Central Serengeti to Ngorongoro Conservation Area

  • Enjoy an early morning game drive in central Serengeti National Park.
  • In the afternoon, transfer to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, one of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites since 1979. Ngorongoro covers 8,200 sq km and is part and parcel of the broader Serengeti ecosystem. It is often called the 8th wonder of the world because it has it all: stunning landscapes, dense wildlife, and a mankind community (Masaai) co-existing in perfect harmony with the wildlife.

Overnight at camp.
