The safari takes you around the best places in Tanzania. Experience the world-famous Serengeti National Park and Tarangire National park with elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeests, lions, leopards, and cheetahs, as well as The Ngorongoro Crater which is known as the Garden of Eden.
After breakfast, depart for Tarangire National Park. You'll go on a full-day game drive in Tarangire National Park. Tarangire has a diverse landscape, with nine vegetation zones. Ancient baobab trees (the largest trees in Africa) dot the landscape dwarfing the animals that feed beneath them. The Tarangire River, which meanders through the park, attracts an abundance of wildlife, from elephants, lions, leopards, buffalos, zebras, giraffes, antelopes to a variety of colorful birds. The park is very famous for having the greatest elephant population in Tanzania, and during a safari there you will have the chance to quietly observe many families of elephants interacting. With a stop for a picnic lunch in an observatory inside the park where you will be able to view animal’s drinking water in the river (and many times lions attacking a thirsty zebra or wildebeest), continue game viewing, and finally return to the camp for dinner and overnight.
