4 Days Tarangire – Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater Safari

Itinerary

Today we drive  from Arusha to Tarangire National Park, for excellent game viewing. Tarangire is a small park which offers some excellent sights. Generally in the dry seasons Tarangire comes alive as wildlife and bird-life congregate on the Tarangire River, which is a permanent source of water. We spend the night in our lodge/camp beautifully set inside the park with stunning views and a unique atmosphere.
We head towards the Serengeti National Park. En route game drives {and there is an opportunity to visit Olduvai Gorge. It is within this steep-sided ravine that Louis and Mary Leakey made some of the world’s most important archaeological discoveries in the 1950s – Pre Booking visit  will be required} After lunch, we drive into the Serengeti itself and the rest of the afternoon is spent game viewing in the vast plains that are broken only by stands of acacia trees and the occasional kopje. In December, January and February  normally you will be able to meet the migration with large herds of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle. There are always plenty of resident animals, such as giraffe, buffalo, and elephant, and many large predators such as lion, cheetah, and leopard. Dinner and overnight at Lodge/Camp.
After breakfast full day game drives in this wonderful park, rising early to make the most of your time. Your driver guide will choose the best spotting locations for the time of year. The game drives from the wide open plains to the kopjes: these volcanic rocky outcrops provide protection and shelter for a wide variety of animals and from the top you can look out across the vast grasslands of the Serengeti. This diverse and interesting landscape will provide an ultimate game viewing, you will hopefully see all of the plain animals i/e elephants, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, lions and if you are lucky the elusive leopard and cheetah, as well as huge number of interesting bird life, from the elegant secretary birds to the flightless ostrich. afternoon continue to Ngorongoro for Dinner and overnight at Lodge/Camp: Full board.
