Journey to Tarangire, a park famed for its ancient baobab trees and the highest density of elephants in the country. After an extensive game drive along the river, you will retire to the Karatu highlands.
Traverse the Ngorongoro Conservation Area as you head into the legendary Serengeti. Spend the afternoon exploring the central plains, a vibrant hub for big cats and resident wildlife.
Head north to the Mara River region, the stage for the dramatic migration crossings. This remote area offers some of the most exclusive and intense wildlife viewing in all of Africa.
Dedicated to the northern reaches, this day allows for deep exploration of the rolling hills and rocky outcrops. Search for the elusive black rhino and observe the massive herds as they navigate the crocodile-infested waters.
Enjoy a final sunrise game drive in the Serengeti before winding your way back towards the lush crater highlands. Spend the evening relaxing at a beautiful lodge set amidst vibrant gardens.
Descend into the world's largest intact caldera for a spectacular wildlife viewing experience. Following a picnic lunch on the crater floor, return to Arusha for your onward flight or hotel transfer.
The dry season from June to October is optimal for witnessing the Mara River crossings. For those interested in the calving season, January and February offer exceptional sightings in the southern plains.
