Tarangire National Park

Arusha National Park - Nestled in northern Tanzania, Arusha National Park offers a range of activities thanks to its varied landscape. Visitors can explore Mount Meru, Momella Lakes, and savanna plains, and it is one of the few places where walking safaris are permitted. Accompanied by an armed ranger, visitors can learn about the area’s wildlife and history. A visit to the Ngurdoto Museum provides insights into human-wildlife conflict.

A brief 1.5-hour bush walk followed by a Land Cruiser safari offers incredible wildlife encounters. Visitors can walk through savanna plains, spotting giraffes, bushbuck antelopes, buffalo, and warthogs up close. After the walk, a drive to Momella Lakes reveals large colonies of flamingos, along with hornbills, ibises, pelicans, and vultures. The tranquil views make it a perfect lunch spot!

Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park - The typical start time for the first safari day is 7:30 AM. The safari guide will pick visitors up from their hotel or another agreed location. By 10:00 AM, they will reach Tarangire and begin their first game drive!

Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park - On the second day in Tarangire National Park, the Altezza guide will take visitors to new sections of the park. They will encounter breathtaking views and a variety of African wildlife, including rare species like long-necked gerenuks and oryx, which are not commonly found in the Serengeti.

Tarangire is also home to hyraxes, small and amusing creatures closely related to elephants. They allow visitors to get quite close for photos, but it’s important to avoid touching the wildlife.

Bird enthusiasts will be delighted with over 550 bird species in the park. The car is equipped with high-resolution binoculars to enhance the bird-watching experience.

Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro Crater - The legendary Ngorongoro Crater! Here, visitors will witness tens of thousands of wild animals living in the massive crater left by a huge ancient volcano. The actual crater is relatively small, considering it is home to the most variety of animals per square meter than anywhere else in the world! Visitors are sure to see a great number of animals within close proximity to one another.

The descent into the crater will take about half an hour of driving. The road passes through beautiful, lush forests with great scenery.

After the morning game drive around the crater, visitors will stop at the picnic area next to Lake Magadi for a snack and rest. One of the attractions of Lake Magadi is the hippos that live in the area. Visitors are sure to enjoy watching them while having lunch. Due to the large number of animals and endemic plants, Ngorongoro Conservation Area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and renowned for its natural significance in the world.

Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park - After breakfast, visitors will start the safari by being transferred to the central part of the Serengeti, known as Seronera. Here, the driver will try to find the animals visitors are most interested in. Closer to lunchtime, they can visit the Serengeti Visitor Center, where they will be offered a lunchbox and provided with lots of interesting information not only about the animals’ populations but also about the history of the National Park. Also, in this area, visitors will be able to see hyraxes, which are the elephant’s closest relatives.

Alternatively, it is also recommended to return to the camp for a quick lunch and nap before restarting the safari before sunset to enjoy the golden hour.

Serengeti wildlife numbers in thousands: elephants, buffalo, ostriches, giraffes, jackals, hyenas, lions, antelopes, leopards, and cheetahs—just keep your eyes peeled and enjoy the nature around you.

Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park - Today is the final day in central Serengeti. Each day in the savannah brings new and exciting experiences. The lazy lions of yesterday might be on the prowl, and curious elephants may approach. Visitors might even spot a cheetah atop their safari car!

This is also a great opportunity to see the famous Kopjes—picturesque volcanic rock formations that provide excellent photo opportunities as animals rest in their shade.

Don’t miss Simba Rock, the real-life inspiration for the iconic scene in “The Lion King” where Mufasa presents baby Simba. See the very rock that inspired the beloved cartoon!

Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park - Another day to enjoy the vast plains of Serengeti! This park is a huge space, brimming with life. It is impossible to view it all in one day; today, the guide will show visitors new places and interesting animals, so that they can get a full perspective.

The Serengeti is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, chosen because of its important ecosystem, the dense population of animals, and the annual Great Migration. Serengeti was the inspiration for Disney’s “Lion King” feature film, but life here is not a cartoon—it is pure, wild, and beautiful.
