After breakfast, your Ndovu African Expeditions guide will collect you and drive you to Tarangire National Park, your first destination.

This spectacular park is named after the Tarangire River, the only reliable water source during the dry season. Known for its large elephant families, ancient baobab trees, and more than 500 species of birds, Tarangire is a photographer’s paradise. You may also encounter lions, leopards, giraffes, and antelopes.

Enjoy a picnic lunch inside the park before proceeding to your luxury lodge in Karatu.

After breakfast, drive through the scenic Ngorongoro Conservation Area with a chance to stop and admire the stunning Ngorongoro Crater from the viewpoint. Continue on to the Serengeti National Park, entering from the southern plains.

The Serengeti, one of Africa’s most iconic safari destinations, is renowned for its vast plains and the annual Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and antelopes move in search of fresh grazing. Depending on the season, you might witness one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.

Enjoy a picnic lunch en route and spend the night at a luxury tented camp in Central Serengeti.

Wake up to the magical sounds of the African wilderness. Central Serengeti (Seronera) is home to extraordinary wildlife throughout the year, including elephants, giraffes, hippos, and abundant big cats — lions, leopards, and cheetahs.

Explore the diverse ecosystems ranging from open savannahs to lush riverbanks lined with acacias and palm trees. You may also visit the Retima Hippo Pool, a fascinating spot to observe hippos in large numbers.

Choose between a full-day game drive with picnic lunch or early morning and late afternoon drives with lunch at the camp.

You may encounter elephants, baboons, and — if lucky — the famous tree-climbing lions.
