Day 3. Tarangire National Park (safari)

After breakfast, travel to Tarangire National Park, known as the home of giants because of it’s huge herds of elephant and majestic Baobab trees, and enjoy a picnic lunch with a spectacular view.

Every year during the dry season from June to November Tarangire hosts a wildlife migration which is not as dramatic as the Wildebeest Migration in the Serengeti, but receives a somewhat large number of animals. As most of this part of the country is dry, the Tarangire River remains the only source of water and consequently attracts large numbers of wildebeests, elephants, gazelles, zebras and hartebeest, buffaloes plus various predators like lions that come to drink and graze around the river banks. during the rain months of November to May, The zebras as well as large herds of wildebeests move into the north-western direction towards the Rift Valley floor amongst the large numbers of animals that spread across the large open areas of the Masaai Steppe and dispersing all the way to Lake Manyara.

We continue to the Serengeti National Park over a long dusty road but we will be rewarded at the end of this road by entering the Serengeti !!

The next 2 days here in the Serengeti you controle the pace. You can spend long days in the Reserve or relax at the lodge.

The time is yours.

You make a plan together with your private guide/driver for the day and/or the next day. Lunch boxes can be taken on game drive so you are able to enjoy them somewhere in the Reserve or you can enjoy your lunch at the lodge.

It’s all up to you.

Day 6. Full day Serengeti NP (safari)

The great migration is the world's longest overland migration. The complete migration route is around 800 km (500 mi). South of this migration route covers the Ngorongoro Conservation Area where around half a million Wildebeest are born between January and March. By March, at the beginning of the dry season, roughly 1.5 million and 250,000 zebras start to migrate heading north towards Maasai Mara in Kenya. Common eland, plains zebra, and Thomson's gazelle join the wildebeest. In April and May, the migrating herds pass through the Western Corridor.

To get to the Maasai Mara, the herds have to cross the Grumeti and Mara Rivers where around 3,000 crocodiles lie in wait. For every wildebeest captured by the crocodiles, 50 drown. When the dry season ends in late October, the migrating herds start to head back south. Around 250,000 wildebeests and 30,000 plains zebras die annually from drowning, predation, exhaustion, thirst, or disease.
