Day 01

Arusha to Tarangire National Park Safari

  • Meet your safari guide in the morning, hop into your 4x4 Toyota Land Cruiser, and drive to Tarangire National Park. This beautiful national park is characterized by extensive open savannah, baobab trees, seasonal swamps, and the life-giving Tarangire River. Animals gather at the river, and elephants, giraffes, bushbucks, and hartebeests can often be seen.
  • Spot the fringe-eared oryx or the weird-looking gerenuk. Tarangire is also home to buffaloes, zebras, and wildebeests, always closely followed by predators, including lions. Your safari vehicle has an open roof and is the ideal viewing platform to appreciate the nature and animals around you.
  • Leave the park and travel to Mto wa Mbu, where you will spend the night. Overnight at camp/lodge.

Day 02

Mto wa Mbu to Serengeti National Park

  • Explore the famous Serengeti, home to the Big Five - elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard, and rhino - along with many other animals. You can look forward to many new wildlife sightings and beautiful scenery during your game drives, as no day on safari is the same.
  • Spend the following three nights at the camp/lodge. Depending on the season, you can either stay one night in the central Serengeti and two nights in the northern Serengeti (June, October) or the southern Serengeti (January and March), or stay all three nights in the central Serengeti (November and December, and April and May).

Day 03

Serengeti Wildlife and Great Migration

  • Learn about animal behaviour as well as their social structures. Serengeti National Park is the third-largest park in Tanzania and is stunningly beautiful. While the landscape in the south is characterized by open grassland as far as you can see, open woodlands and hills are predominant in the north and west.
  • Explore the Serengeti, host to the Great Migration of millions of wildebeest and zebras, one of the greatest shows on earth. Your home is one of the Kati Kati Tented Camps. To increase your chances of witnessing the Great Migration, we choose your route and the order of camps according to your travel time.

Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. Overnight at lodge or camp.
