5-Day Mid-Range to Tanzania Iconic Parks Safari Adventure

After breakfast at the hotel or pick up at the airport, depart for Tarangire, Tanzania's third-largest national park and sanctuary for an unusually large elephant population. Majestic baobab trees are an interesting feature of the park, dwarfing the animals that feed beneath them. Animals concentrate along the Tarangire River, which provides the only permanent water supply in the area. There is a great diversity of wildlife, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, and up to six thousand elephants. Enjoy a game drive with a picnic lunch. Later afternoon transfer to your accommodation for dinner and relaxation.

After breakfast, you will drive to the Serengeti National Park, enjoying the beautiful high-laying farmland of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area along the way. Leaving the highlands behind, you will enter the heart of wild Africa, the Serengeti National Park, with its endless plains rolling into the distance, as far as the eye can see. You will head to the central area of the park, known as the Seronera, one of the richest wildlife habitats. In this part of the park, you will visit the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well-representative of most of the Serengeti's species. You will arrive in time for lunch and afterwards, enjoy an afternoon game drive in the Serengeti National Park. Later in the day, you will have dinner and your overnight stay in the camp.
