Day 1: Tarangire National Park – Elephant Kingdom :
Your safari begins with a pickup from your Arusha accommodation and a scenic drive to Tarangire National Park. Spend a full day on game drives through this elephant paradise, home to large herds of elephants, lions, leopards, and diverse antelope species. The park’s iconic baobab trees and varied landscapes provide spectacular photo opportunities. Enjoy a picnic lunch surrounded by wildlife before continuing your exploration.

Travel through the scenic Ngorongoro Conservation Area toward the legendary Serengeti.

Early morning and late afternoon game drives maximize your wildlife viewing opportunities – the best times to spot lions, cheetahs, leopards, and other predators in action. Depending on the season, witness the dramatic Great Migration or track resident wildlife populations across the iconic plains.
