Itinerary
Begin your adventure with a pick-up from your hotel in Arusha and head to Tarangire National Park after breakfast. Tarangire is the third largest national park in Tanzania and is known throughout the world for its dense population of herbivores and large herds of elephants. The national park’s lifeblood is the Tarangire River, which bisects the park. The river is also where many animals, both predators and prey, gather around. This provides for an excellent game-viewing opportunity to all the travelers. Once you are done with the day-long safari, head to Octagon Lodge for a shower, dinner, and overnight stay. Enjoy a full-board meal.
After breakfast 9;00AM, we drive to Serengeti National Park through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. It takes 4 to 5 hours to reach Serengeti. You also have the option to visit the Olduvai Gorge en route (At own extra cost).
