Famous for its large elephant herds, Tarangire is home to diverse wildlife, including giraffes, zebras, bushbucks, and hartebeests, often trailed by predators such as lions and leopards. The park also hosts the world’s highest number of breeding bird species and is dotted with ancient baobab trees, some over a thousand years old.
Enjoy a picnic lunch inside the park before continuing your game drive. Later, you will head to Karatu for the night.
Serengeti National Park
You will spend 3 Days to exploring the Serengeti’s diverse landscapes and abundant wildlife. The park is home to buffalos, impalas, crocodiles, hippos, and big cats such as lions, cheetahs, and leopards.
Depending on the location of the Great Migration, you may venture beyond the Central Serengeti to witness this breathtaking natural phenomenon. A picnic lunch will be provided in the park.
Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater – A Lost World
Wake up early for a final sunrise game drive in Serengeti before heading toward Ngorongoro Crater, one of Africa’s most incredible natural wonders.
The crater, formed over two million years ago, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its dense wildlife populations. The crater floor is home to wildebeests, zebras, gazelles, buffalos, and hippos, as well as hyenas, cheetahs, and jackals. It is also one of the best places to see the endangered black rhino.
After a game drive and a picnic lunch inside the crater, you will head back to Karatu for the evening.
Lake Manyara National Park – A Grand Finale
After breakfast, drive to Lake Manyara National Park, a compact yet diverse wildlife sanctuary at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment. The park is famous for its tree-climbing lions, an unusual behavior seen in very few places in Africa.
Lake Manyara is home to thousands of flamingos and over 500 bird species, making it a paradise for bird lovers. Its lush forests are inhabited by elephants, baboons, blue monkeys, and bushbucks, while the open plains attract buffalos, giraffes, and zebras.
Enjoy a picnic lunch inside the park before returning to Arusha. Depending on your travel plans, you will be dropped off at Kilimanjaro International Airport, Arusha Airport, or another preferred location.
