Itinerary
Depart from Arusha for a full-day game drive in Tarangire National Park.
After an early breakfast, depart to Tarangire for a full-day game drive in Tarangire National Park with a picnic lunch. Herds of up to 300 elephants scrape the waterless riverbed for alternative streams, while nomadic wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, impala, gazelle, hartebeest, and eland mass the decreased lagoons. This national park holds migrants during the dry season and is a welcoming home to elephants. We have dinner and our overnight stay at Lilac Campsite.
Drive from the camp to Serengeti National Park for game drives and overnight at Seronera Campsite.
