Serengeti - 2023/2024

Central Serengeti is the star of this week-long safari adventure, providing us with the stage for many of our adventures on this wildlife extravaganza as we visit Tanzania’s most iconic national park. From Arusha, we depart directly to the Central Serengeti, which could justifiably claim to be the ‘hub’ of the Serengeti’s wildlife-watching action. We enjoy three nights there, giving us ample time to fully explore its many diverse locations. Then, away from the Serengeti, we finish our safari tour at Ngorongoro, the extraordinary conservation area with its huge volcanic crater as its center. And it’s a crater teeming with animals!


Day 1 : Arrive in Arusha then proceed to Tarangire National Park 
Meet your guide on arrival then proceed to Tarangire National Park. 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.
Dinner and overnight at Tarangire Safari Lodge

Day 2: Full day game drive in Tarangire National Park
Today we have a full day game drive in 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 beautifully set inside the park with stunning views and a unique atmosphere. In the late afternoon we make a short journey from the park to our special lodge.

Day 3: Serengeti 

We proceed to Serengeti, rising early to make the most of our time.  Your guide will choose the best spotting locations for the time of year; we can spend time at the Hippo pool watching these majestic animals laze about in the cool water happily living alongside the crocodiles, watch a big pride of lions, be in the middle of the migration, sometimes surrounded by wildebeest, sometimes by zebras, which travel with the wildebeest. We journey 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 we can look out across the vast grasslands of the Serengeti. This diverse and interesting landscape will provide us with the ultimate in game viewing, we will hopefully see all of the plain games; elephants, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, lions and it you are lucky the elusive leopard and cheetah, as well as huge amounts of interesting bird life, from the elegant secretary birds to the flightless ostrich. We return to our special tented camp for the night.
