Not only they are found in thousands but also they seem to be more accustomed to vehicles, and for this, you can be closer to these gigantic animals. It is not only the elephants rather a varied numbers of animals such as the Masai giraffes, various gazelles, antelopes, buffaloes, lions, leopards, baboons, and more than 500 types of birds make this the one-stop solution for both bird and animal lovers.

Day 3: Tarangire – Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, we head towards the Serengeti National Park, via the beautiful high lying farmland of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Leaving the highlands behind, we descend into the heart of wild Africa – the Serengeti National Park – with its endless plains, rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see. We head to the central park area, known as the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park, featuring the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife with all representatives of most of the Serengeti’s species. We arrive in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in the Serengeti national park. After your tour around the park, you will be transferred to your lodge where you will be spending the night.

Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Included

Day 4, 5 & 6: Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park, Tanzania

The following days of your trip will be spent in Serengeti National Park. Following breakfast, you will spend the whole day on a game drive in the Serengeti National Park for your day four and have lunch at a picnic spot en-route. Depending upon the time of year, you might even have the chance to witness the great migration with hundreds of thousands of wildebeests, zebras, and Thompson gazelles. During the small rainy season in October and November, you will typically see these herds moving from the Kenyan Masai Mara through the northwest of the Serengeti to the plains in the south. After the great rainy season in April, May, and June, the herds slowly travel back through the western and north-western parts of the Serengeti. With fluctuations in rainfall, this timetable can of course change, resulting in the animals migrating during different times and routes. Your guide will try his utmost to find the animals and will make sure that you can see them from the best spot in the national park. Naturally, the migration also attracts predators and with luck, you might see a kill in action. Dinner and overnight at your stated accommodation.

Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Included

Day 7: Serengeti – Ngorongoro Conservation Area

While here, you will have a great opportunity to witness the large numbers of wildlife within your proximity. The experience here is absolutely fantastic.

A large area of the park is covered by the alkaline Lake Manyara, which is home to colonies of flamingos and other water birds. Apart from giraffes, hippos, wildebeests, and impalas on the grassy plains, you might see lions lounging in the trees and elephants feeding on the acacias in the woodlands.
