Itinerary
Day 1: :
Arusha to Tarangire National Park
Begin your adventure with a pick-up from your hotel in Arusha and head to Tarangire National Park after breakfast. Tarangire is the third largest national park in Tanzania and is known throughout the world for its dense population of herbivores and large herds of elephants. The national park's lifeblood is the Tarangire River, which bisects the park. The river is also where many animals, both predators and prey, gather around. This provides for an excellent game-viewing opportunity for all travellers. Once you are done with the day-long safari, head to Mto wa Mbu public campsite for a shower, dinner, and overnight stay. Enjoy a full-board meal.
Day 2: :
Tarangire to Serengeti National Park
After breakfast 9; 00 AM, we drive to Serengeti National Park through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. It takes 4 to 5 hours to reach Serengeti. You also have the option to visit the Olduvai Gorge en route (At your own extra cost). Serengeti is Tanzania’s most famous and largest national park as well as one of the most spectacular conservation areas in the world. The endless plains of the park cover some 14,763 square kilometres and include large plains, short-grass plains, kopjes and lakes. Enjoy the game drive viewing en route. Evening, your dinner and overnight stay will be served at the heart of Serengeti Seronera Public Campsite.

Serengeti to Ngorongoro Conservation Area

Once you are done viewing the animals, arrive at Simba Public Campsite, for a shower, dinner, and overnight stay.

See lions, elephants, zebras, hippos, flamingos, jackals, rhinos, antelopes, and many bird species. Visit the nook and cranny of the crater, where your driver/guide will take you after contacting other safari drivers in the area. Not just the animals, even the large baobab trees inside the national park have become tourist attractions in recent times At late afternoon, your trip has come to an end and will be driven to Arusha.
