Following a hearty breakfast, your driver-guide will be readily available to take you on an exciting day of game-viewing within the vast expanse of Tarangire National Park.
Away from the busier areas, Tarangire National Park promises visitors wilderness and adventure. Known for its authentic and sophisticated game-viewing, it stands out as a prime dry-season sanctuary, especially from July to October. The park is home to one of Tanzania’s highest wildlife concentrations and is often referred to as the “elephant playground” due to the large number of these majestic creatures. By late October, as the short-wet season begins, you may witness their migration.
Throughout the year, Tarangire also offers sightings of hartebeests, wildebeests, zebras, elands, lesser kudus, gazelles, waterbucks, giraffes, impalas, and occasionally leopards or rhinos, making it a wildlife haven in every season. This region truly embodies the raw allure of an African safari.
After lunch, resume your game-viewing drive, and as the day winds down, you’ll head to your lodge in Ngorongoro highlands for dinner and a restful night on a full board occupancy basis.

Leave for Lake Manyara after a refreshing early morning breakfast, looking forward to yet another pack of incredible game viewing opportunities.
Lake Manyara is specifically famous for the tree-climbing lions, its rich avian population, and the alkaline Lake Manyara, from which the park draws its name. Also, the park is home to a diverse array of wildlife, and provides excellent opportunities to observe hippos at close range.
Between June and October, expect to see large mammals. During the wet season in November and from March to May, Lake Manyara is a haven for bird watching. Despite its compact size, the park’s diverse ecosystem supports a wide range of habitats, offering incredible sightings of the local wildlife thriving in its natural setting. Enjoy a picnic lunch in one of the designated spots in the afternoon and resume your game-viewing drive before leaving for your lodge in Ngorongoro Highlands.

The focus in these two days will be about enjoying two game-viewing drives, and perhaps a hot-air balloon flight or the al fresco bush lunch on the second day. Central Serengeti is famous for its predator-dominance, and this may bring some great sights of predator-prey during drives. You’ll probably catch sights of nearly eight thousand spotted hyenas, united in formidable clans, alongside three thousand lions adorned with their distinctive black manes.
In addition to these apex predators, cheetahs, leopards, and bat-eared foxes also add to the diversity of the Serengeti’s ecosystem. Scavengers, including golden and side-striped jackals, as well as different vulture species, play their vital roles in this intricate web of life.

Overnight: Seronera Serengeti
Following a hearty breakfast, you head out for an exhilarating day of game viewing en route to the southern Serengeti near Ndutu. These short-grass expanses form part of the southern Serengeti’s ecological system, offering a quintessential Serengeti experience with vast open plains and sizable wildebeest herds, particularly prevalent from December to April.
Prepare to encounter a diverse array of African wildlife, from big cats to other mammalian species and large birds that thrive in the southern Serengeti. Ndutu is especially renowned for its cheetah sightings and allows off-road exploration, making it a favorite among photographers.
Lake Ndutu serves as a focal point during the wildebeest dispersal, providing exceptional game-viewing opportunities during and after the calving season. On the 7th day, enjoy a full day of game drives to Moru Koppies, further exploring the region’s rich wildlife. Return to your lodge in the early evening to unwind and savor a delightful evening.

Start the day with a final breakfast in Serengeti before heading toward the Ngorongoro Crater. Enjoy one last game drive en route, taking in the diverse wildlife along the way. Upon arrival at Ngorongoro, descend nearly 2,000 feet into the crater and prepare yourself to be consistently surprised.
Known for hosting Africa’s largest permanent concentration of wildlife, the Ngorongoro Crater is just a small part of the expansive Ngorongoro Conservation Area. It’s home to the African Big Five: elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion, and leopard. With a permanent water source, the crater eliminates the need for large-scale wildlife migration, offering a fascinating contrast to the Serengeti and making it a prime destination for game viewing.
In the Lerai Forest, nature unveils its magic with sightings of elephants, waterbucks, and, if fortune favors you, leopards in the quieter areas. After a remarkable day in the crater, retreat to your lodge for a relaxing evening.
