This morning your guide will collect you from your Arusha hotel (which we can assist in prebooking for you) at 08h00. Head toward Tarangire National Park, a true hidden gem. Highly underated, yet bursting with a dense wildlife population, it won’t take you long to appreciate just why we love Tarangire.
It’s a special park known for its vast elephant population and gigantic baobab trees. During the dry season of June – September thousands of animals including elephant, buffalo, giraffe, wildebeest, kudu, and the rarely seen oryx migrate from the dry Masai steppe to the Tarangire River in search of water.
Lion, leopard and other predators follow – so be sure to be sure to charge your battery and empty your memory stick as some unique memories await you. Home to the largest population of elephant of any park in the northern circuit, and over 550 varieties of bird, Tarangire offers far fewer tourists and loads of game – a winning combination!

It is significant as the only regular breeding area in East Africa for the 2.5 million lesser flamingoes, whose status of "near threatened" results from their dependence on this single location.

Continue onto the Serengeti, one of the most world’s most famous National Parks, and home to more than three million large mammals spread over the endless plains. It is here, at certain times of the year, that we may encounter the breathtaking spectacle of the annual wildebeest migration, where one and a quarter million wildebeest trek in columns of up to forty kilometres long in search of grazing, drawing with them their predators and numerous other species of game.
Depending on the time of year, overnight at either Serengeti North Wilderness Camp / Serengeti Wilderness Camp (Central) or Ndutu Wilderness Camp, or a combination of these camps.
Our guides will take you to the heart of the best game viewing possible. Sometimes that may entail a long day in the vehicle, other times the game may be close by! Our team go that extra mile to give you an unforgettable trip with us. In our specially customised extended land cruisers the windows are enlarged and the roof height extended to allow ease of photography and game-viewing through the 360 degree view hatches, with plenty of room to stretch your legs.
