Day 2
Tarangire to Serengeti
After breakfast, on the way to Serengeti, you will pass by the Ngorongoro Crater and enjoy the crater view before heading to your destination. The name Serengeti originates from the Maasai word "Siringitu" and means "endless plains". You will see why the Maasai gave this region this name, as the grassland savannah stretches to the horizon in the south and is only interrupted by the so-called kopjes. These kopjes are bizarre rock formations formed by the weathering of granite outcrops. The plains are the perfect hunting grounds for leopards and other big cats. You will have a good chance to view these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat through the open roof of the vehicle. In the afternoon, you will enjoy a meal and later arrive at your destination for the day. You will camp at the Serengeti Wild Camp for the night and enjoy a delicious dinner in the heart of the African bush. Mid-range tented camp located inside Central Serengeti NP All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)

Day 3
Serengeti to Ngorongoro
Wake up early for breakfast before starting your game drive exploration. In Serengeti National Park, you can expect to encounter a diverse array of wildlife, including the iconic Big Five: lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, and rhinos. Additionally, the park is renowned for its large population of cheetahs, often seen sprinting across the plains in pursuit of prey. Other predators, such as hyenas and wild dogs, roam the savannah, while giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, and antelopes graze in large herds. Birdwatchers will delight in spotting various bird species, including eagles, vultures, ostriches, and colourful migratory birds. Overall, Serengeti offers an unparalleled wildlife experience, with opportunities to witness the natural behaviours of these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. As the sun gracefully sets, conclude the day with a transfer and overnight stay at your hotel in Karatu, anticipating the wonders that await in this remarkable destination.

Spend the morning exploring the crater floor, encountering a variety of wildlife, including lions, elephants, hippos, and more. Enjoy a picnic lunch surrounded by the natural beauty of the crater before continuing your game drive. In the afternoon, ascend from the crater and begin your journey back to Moshi, where you'll bid farewell to our team. If time allows, you may have the opportunity to explore Moshi or visit local markets for some last-minute souvenirs. Finally, transfer to your hotel or the airport for your departure flight, carrying with you memories of an unforgettable safari adventure in Tanzania's most iconic national parks.
