Upon your arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, your friendly guide will greet you with a warm welcome. You’ll be transferred to your hotel, where you can unwind and immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of Africa. The following day marks the beginning of your safari adventure.
Experience Tarangire National Park, renowned for its massive herds of elephants and iconic baobab trees. During the dry season, animals congregate around the Tarangire River, the park’s lifeline. Watch elephants skillfully extract water from baobabs and marvel at the diverse wildlife thriving in this unique ecosystem.
After breakfast, embark on a journey to Serengeti National Park, passing through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Enjoy a packed lunch at the park’s main gate before an exciting afternoon game drive in central Serengeti. This region offers a prime vantage point for spotting lions, leopards, and the annual wildebeest migration (seasonal).
Start your day early to maximize wildlife viewing. Your guide will take you to key locations like the Hippo Pool, where hippos and crocodiles coexist. Observe lions, zebras, giraffes, and wildebeest navigating the diverse Serengeti landscape. With luck, you may spot leopards or cheetahs in action.
Enjoy a sunrise game drive in Serengeti, capturing the wildlife at its most active. After brunch, journey to Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This natural wonder hosts East Africa’s diverse wildlife, including the elusive black rhino. Spend the night near the crater, preparing for the next day’s descent.
