Your safari begins with a morning pick-up from your Arusha hotel. Soon, the road leads you into the wild beauty of Tarangire National Park, where vast landscapes are dotted with ancient baobab trees and home to the largest elephant herds in northern Tanzania. Spend the day on thrilling game drives, spotting giraffes, wildebeests, lions, and hundreds of colorful bird species.
By evening, retire to a cozy mid-range lodge near the park for dinner and a night under African skies.

After breakfast, set off for the world-famous Serengeti National Park. The journey takes you through the Great Rift Valley and across rolling highlands before the plains stretch endlessly ahead.
Arrive in time for an afternoon game drive, where lions bask under acacia trees, zebras graze in herds, and cheetahs prowl the savannah. Dinner and overnight at a Serengeti tented safari camp, where the sounds of the wild lull you to sleep.
