Day 1

Arusha

We will depart Arusha in the morning and head directly to Tarangire National Park, named after the river that runs through it, which quenches the thirst of a variety of animals, including giraffes, waterbucks, wildebeests, zebras, and a high density of elephants. Tarangire is home to over 550 species of birds, and its hilly landscape is dotted with baobabs and diverse grasses. After a morning game drive, you will enjoy a picnic lunch overlooking the river, before continuing wildlife viewing until leaving the park in the late afternoon.

The Serengeti National Park, home to the Big Five (rhinoceros, elephant, leopard, buffalo, and lion), is one of the greatest national parks in the world, spanning over 14,000 km². The name Serengeti comes from a Maasai word meaning "endless plains". Although populations fluctuate, there are an estimated 3 million large game animals in the Serengeti, including over 2,500 lions, 1.2 million wildebeest, and over 200,000 zebras. You will also have the opportunity to see giraffes, baboons, colobus monkeys, gazelles, antelopes, crocodiles, hippos, waterbuck, hartebeest, and more! This vast and varied park is home to more than 500 bird species, including ostriches, vultures, martial eagles, kori bustards, crowned cranes, and secretary birds. You'll enjoy a picnic or camp lunch before continuing on an afternoon game drive through the vast plains. A trip to the Serengeti at any time of the year can never disappoint!
