Day 1: Moshi to Tarangire National Park

- Marvel at the two-stories high termite mounds and the “upside-down” giant baobab trees. In addition, the African elephant population, over 300 strong, is a highly remarkable sight. Other animals endemic to Tarangire’s savannah include the hardy African lions, giraffes, toothy warthogs, ostriches, impalas, agile cheetahs, mongoose, water buffalo, and red-bottomed baboons.

Day 2: Tarangire National Park to Serengeti National Park

- Take a drive to the Serengeti National Park. We will take the scenic route to Serengeti, allowing for a fantastic bird’s-eye-view of Ngorongoro Crater. There is a high likelihood of spotting the game on the drive. The endless golden savanna, contrasted with the vibrant patterns of zebras, lions, and elephants, make it easy to understand why the Serengeti is one of the Seven Natural wonders of Africa.
- Stop for a picnic lunch on the most famous kopje (a small hill in a generally flat area) in the park, allowing visitors to experience the vastness of Serengeti from atop the hill.
- Proceed further into the Serengeti for a leisurely game drive, where you will likely view herds of giraffes, elephants, and zebra.

Throughout the day, we will experience the shrubbery of the golden savannah, mighty rivers, and unique wildlife. We will eat our picnic lunch in the heart of the beautiful park.
Soda Lake and the surrounding savannah support the highly diverse ecosystem, leading to the diverse array of wildlife to be viewed within the park. With over four hundred species of dazzling birds, some of which are migratory, Lake Manyara National Park is a birdwatcher's paradise.
