In Tarangire National Park, you'll get to witness its renowned features: the iconic ancient baobab trees, pythons that climb trees, and a large population of African elephants, lions, leopards, and cheetahs.

Day 2 - Tarangire to Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, we'll drive to the fertile crater highlands, where the Iraqw people grow wheat, corn, and coffee. We'll pass by the Ngorongoro Crater on our way to the Serengeti National Park, arriving around midday.

The park offers diverse landscapes, including grassy plains, savannah, bushes, wetlands, mountains, lakes, and unique rock formations called Kopjes, which are great spots for spotting predators.

Depending on the season, you may witness the famous animal migration. During the short rainy season (November-December), herds move from the north hills to the southern plains. In the longer rainy season (April-June), they return north. This migration depends on the yearly rainfall and results in different herd locations. Your experienced guide will make sure you have the best chances to see these animals.

You'll spend the night at either Kati Kati Tented Camp or Seronera Campsite in central Serengeti.

You'll often spot large herds of elephants and the rare black rhinos.

The crater is also home to abundant wildebeests, zebras, gazelles, hippos, cape buffalos, lion prides, hyenas, serval cats, jackals, and nearly 400 bird species.
