The diversity of flora and fauna is stunning; besides birding and elephant population density, different species of big and small cats are found as well. Safari is all about learning and exploring.

Start your day with a packed breakfast to enjoy wilderness and wildlife in the great morning light and see animals when being active. Birding at Tarangire is phenomenal; the park has a record of over 500 bird species. The park has the largest elephant population density per square kilometer in the Northern part of the country compared to other parks. The great wildlife diversity of the park makes it one of the great places to visit year-round, though most reports say Tarangire is at its best in the rainy season. You’ll have lunch at the lodge and relax during the hot part of the day. We’ll leave again for the late afternoon drive for a couple of hours. Another option could be taking a packed breakfast and lunch in order to stay out in the park as long as possible. Dinner & overnight – Lake Burunge. (All meals included.)

Day 4: Tarangire – Serengeti

The drive cuts across the Great Rift Valley and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. In the green season, the migratory animals tend to form larger herds, which is a typical habit for them for their safety. Dinner & overnight – Kati Kati Tented Camp. (All meals included.)

Day 5: Serengeti

Depart early and enjoy breakfast out in the bush while watching wildlife and the stunning green natural habitat. Serengeti is huge—it covers 14,763 square kilometers (9200 miles). The abundance of ungulates attracts predators as well; there are a lot of fascinating prey/predator relationships. Wildebeest adapted, gathering in massive groups especially when they are in the open plains. You’ll have lunch at the lodge, then leave again for a late afternoon game drive when the sun cools down. The evening light provides a great opportunity for stunning landscape pictures with wildlife of the Great Migration African Safari. Dinner & overnight – Kati Kati Tented Camp. (All meals included.)

Day 6: Serengeti – Ngorongoro

You’ll have an early departure after breakfast with a packed lunch and head to the Ngorongoro Crater for a game drive. The crater is a spectacular place; it has a scenic environment and is rich in a variety of wildlife diversity including the endangered black rhinoceros. In the dry season, it is usually very difficult to find the black rhinoceros but in the rainy season, they tend to wander widely due to the greater availability of pasture. We’ll have lunch in the crater when you build up an appetite. After lunch, sit back and enjoy the scenic environment of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and its caldera for a couple of hours. The crater Is technically a caldera due to the type of formation and the size of the area. After violent volcanic activities that took place millions of years ago, the volcano collapsed leaving a huge depression that is now the famous Ngorongoro caldera.
