Safari to Tarangire National Park starts at 08.30 am, for about 2hrs. This park is often referred to as the "home of elephants", The park runs along the line of the Tarangire River and is mainly made up of lowlying hills on the Great Rift Valley floor. Its natural vegetation mainly consists of Acacia woodland and giant African Baobab trees, with huge swamp areas in the south. Both the river and the swamps act like a magnet for wild animals, during Tanzania’s dry season. The Tarangire National Park is reputed to contain some of the largest elephant herds in Africa. We will enjoy a picnic lunch inside the park and do two exciting morning and afternoon game drives, along the Tarangire River. Other animals to be spotted include leopards, lions, giraffes and even tree-climbing pythons. After full day game drive in Tarangire, later evening you will drive Karatu to the lodge for dinner and overnight
Endoro LodgeDAY 3: NGORONGORO CRATER
After breakfast we descend 600m into this magnificent crater for a full-day game drive. The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most densely crowded African wildlife areas in the world and is home to an estimated 30,000 animals including some of Tanzania’s last remaining black rhino. Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro conservation area supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, Black Rhino, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque national park is its huge population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the ever-elusive leopard.
You will have lunch at the floor of Crater and continue with game drive and in the afternoon, you will drive to Central Serengeti with a game on route to the lodge for dinner and overnight
Mawe tentad LodgeDAY 4: SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK – FULL DAY SAFARI
From early in the morning you will do a full day game drive in Serengeti searching for big game animals with different actions like fighting, playing, killings and matting.
We do an after-breakfast game viewing drive along the Sogore River Circuit, which loops into the plains south of the Seronera River, and which is good for possible lion, Thomson gazelle, topi, ostrich and cheetah sightings. The visitor’s center not far from the Serengeti Seronera Lodge and public campsites, is well worth a visit after the morning’s game drive. This nicely designed center, offers some interesting wildlife displays as well as a gift shop selling information leaflets and maps of the area. The center also has a shop where cold drinks and snacks can be purchased, as well as a picnic area and information trail up and around a nearby kopje. We will enjoy a relaxed picnic lunch at the center in the shade of the giant acacia trees.
In the afternoon we will follow the Kopjes Circuit, which goes anti-clockwise around the Maasai Kopjes, which usually attract a number of lion and some formidably large cobras. Kopjes are weathered granite outcrops, scattered around the plain. This makes the kopjes particularly good for spotting wildlife.
