5-Day Tanzania Safari through Tarangire and Western Serengeti

• We will depart from Arusha in the early hours of the day and drive to Tarangire National Park, where colossal termite mounds and ancient baobab trees await us. This park is renowned for its immense elephant population, picturesque scenery, and diverse birdlife.
• Tarangire has enticing wildlife that includes elephants, lions, giraffes, warthogs, ostriches, impalas, cheetahs, mongoose, buffaloes, and baboons.
• When our game drive ends, we will proceed to Lake Manyara Serena Hotel for dinner and an overnight stay, where we will witness the glorious sunset.

• You can either have a relaxed breakfast and depart for game drives with a packed lunch, or leave early in the morning for an early morning game drive. Later, return to the accommodation for breakfast and depart for Western Serengeti with a packed lunch.
• You will explore the central portion of Serengeti National Park today and move towards the western part of the park. During May and June, wildebeest herds are spread around the western corridor of the Serengeti, consisting of the Grumeti and Kirariwa regions.
• The en-route game drive towards the Grumeti region will also offer mild action from the resident game. The western region offers a variety of resident wildlife such as zebras, hippos, gazelles, elands, topi, buffaloes, leopards, lions, and black and white colobus monkeys.
• A picnic lunch will be enjoyed during the day-long drive itself. Based on your arrival time, you will be able to spend a few hours by the Grumeti River.
• The eventful day ends with a hearty dinner and a good night's rest at Lahia Tented Lodge.

• Early in the morning, after breakfast at your accommodation, we will proceed with our game drive in the Western Serengeti, following the Great Migration.
• You will spend this full day in the Western Serengeti for game viewing, and if you are lucky enough, you may spot a crossing at the Grumeti River, as well as crocodiles hunting their prey during the crossing. Watching the wildebeest surge through the torrential flow, with some drowning and a few falling prey to lurking crocodiles, is an unforgettable sight.
• During the full-day game drive, you will stop for a picnic lunch.
• The day comes to an end with a tasty dinner and a good rest at Lahia Tented Lodge.

Optional Activity - On this day, rise early for an unforgettable hot air balloon safari, followed by breakfast.

• This entire day is set aside for game drives exploring the Western Serengeti Migration.
• In the afternoon, drive to Central Serengeti. The Serengeti is home to an abundance of wildlife such as impala, buffalo, crocodile, and hippo, and is even more well known for its great migrating herds of zebra, antelope, and wildebeest.
• The animals' trek is determined by the rainfall and varies from year to year. In December, the animals move from the northern region, dominated by woodlands and hills, to the grassy plains of the south.
• Stay overnight at Serengeti Serena Hotel on a full-board basis.

• Indulge in a leisurely breakfast before embarking on a morning game drive en route to Arusha or Seronera Airstrip for your flight back to Arusha. As your safari adventure concludes, cherish the memories of the extraordinary landscapes and diverse wildlife.
• Alternatively, continue to your booked hotel for an overnight stay in Arusha.
