5-Day Camping Safari in Tarangire Serengeti and Ngorongoro from Arusha

• Depart from Arusha and head towards Tarangire National Park.
• Upon arrival, set up your campsite in one of the park's designated areas, then embark on your first game drive. Tarangire is renowned for its massive baobab trees and large elephant herds.
• As you navigate through the park, you will encounter diverse wildlife, including lions, giraffes, zebras, and various antelope species. The Tarangire River, a vital water source, attracts animals in large numbers, offering excellent game-viewing opportunities.
• In the late afternoon, return to your camp for a hearty dinner under the stars, accompanied by the sounds of the African wilderness.

• Enjoy breakfast and pack for the Serengeti adventure.
• Drive to the Northern Serengeti, as this part of the Serengeti is less crowded, providing a more intimate wildlife experience.
• The journey takes you through diverse landscapes, from rolling plains to rugged hills.
• Upon arrival, set up your camp and embark on an afternoon game drive. The Northern Serengeti is particularly famous for the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest and zebras cross the Mara River. Watch for predators like lions, cheetahs, and crocodiles lying in wait.
• As the sun sets, head back to camp for dinner.

Overnight in the camp.

• Rise with the sun and set out on a full day of exploration in the Northern Serengeti.
• Opt for a morning and afternoon game drive or a full-day excursion with a picnic lunch in the bush.
