Day 2: Arusha to Tarangire National Park Your safari adventure kicks off today. After breakfast, you'll be collected from your lodge at 7:45 AM. You'll embark on a scenic 2-hour drive to Tarangire National Park, famous for its abundant elephant herds and ancient baobab trees. You'll traverse the park in an open-roof vehicle, taking in the seasonal swamps, vast savanna, and wildlife-rich Tarangire River. Day 3: Lake Manyara National Park After breakfast, you'll set off for Lake Manyara National Park, a diverse yet relatively compact reserve located 120 km west of Arusha. The Park is characterized by its namesake shallow, Salt Lake, which fluctuates in size with the seasons and serves as a habitat for over 500 bird species. Day 4: Serengeti National Park After breakfast, your journey to Serengeti begins. The route ahead may be long and occasionally bumpy, but it offers approximately 4 to 5 hours of captivating wildlife viewing as you ascend the crater highlands towards the expansive plains of Serengeti. Weather permitting, a 10-minute stop will be made at Ngorongoro Viewpoint to catch a glimpse of the breathtaking caldera before continuing the drive to Serengeti. Day 5: Full-Day Game Drive in Serengeti National Park You will experience a full day of adventure in Serengeti National Park. From sunrise to sunset, you will embark on an exhilarating game drive, seeking out the magnificent Big Five and discovering a diverse array of over 500 bird species.

Day 6: Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater After breakfast, you'll embark on a scenic drive to Ngorongoro Crater, enjoying approximately 3 hours of wildlife viewing en route. This remarkable location is teeming with a diverse array of wildlife native to East Africa, including the elusive black rhino, which you may be fortunate enough to encounter. With an expansive area spanning 260 square kilometers and a diameter of approximately 20 kilometers, you'll need around 5 to 6 hours to thoroughly explore its wonders. Afterward, you'll head to your accommodation for dinner and an overnight stay.
