After meeting your friendly guide and skilled safari chef, you’ll set off on a scenic 2-hour drive to Tarangire National Park—famed for its breathtaking landscapes, towering ancient baobab trees, and the largest concentration of elephants in Tanzania.
The park offers a rare opportunity to witness the fascinating social interactions between elephant families. As you explore, your guide will track reports of recent wildlife sightings, giving you the best chance to spot predators like lions, cheetahs, and elusive leopards. You’ll also encounter plenty of herbivores such as giraffes, wildebeests, and zebras along the way.
At lunchtime, you’ll stop at the Tarangire River picnic site, where you can enjoy your meal with a stunning view of the river and its bustling wildlife. Watch out for playful monkeys and cheeky baboons—though harmless, they might eye your lunch!

You’ll arrive in the late afternoon and enjoy lunch before venturing into Seronera, the vibrant heart of the Serengeti. Your game drive will last until evening, when you can witness the golden African sunset casting its glow over the plains.
