Once inside the park, you’ll enjoy a full-day game drive with a picnic lunch surrounded by nature. Tarangire is part of an incredible wildlife migration that includes up to 3,000 elephants, 25,000 wildebeest, and 30,000 zebras, so there’s always something to see.
In the evening, we’ll head to Panorama Public Campsite, where you’ll settle in for dinner and an overnight stay under the stars.

By midday, you’ll arrive in the Seronera region of Central Serengeti — a prime wildlife viewing area centered around the Seronera River. This region is home to an abundance of wildlife year-round.

En route, we’ll stop at the legendary Olduvai Gorge, one of the most important paleoanthropological sites in the world. Here, Drs. Louis and Mary Leakey discovered early human fossils that helped piece together the story of our evolution.

Day 4: Ngorongoro Crater – Nature’s Wonderland

Thanks to its permanent water sources and lush vegetation, the crater supports an incredible concentration of wildlife, including elephants, buffaloes, lions, wildebeest, zebras, hippos, and even elusive leopards.
You’ll also visit Lake Magadi, a shallow alkaline lake often covered in pink flamingos and frequented by hippos and other water birds.
