Day 2: Tarangire National Park
>> Today, your safari takes you to Tarangire National Park, one of Tanzania’s most exciting wildlife spots! The Tarangire River runs through the park, attracting giraffes, zebras, antelopes, and buffaloes —along with the lions that follow them. You’re almost certain to see these majestic predators!
During the dry season, the river becomes the only water source for miles, drawing huge elephant herds. Tarangire has Northern Tanzania’s largest elephant population for much of the year (especially June–October and December–March). These gentle giants aren’t shy and often come close to safari vehicles —completely safe, as they have no natural enemies and are simply curious.

Ngorongoro is one of Tanzania’s most famous parks, home to the highest concentration and diversity of wildlife per square kilometer. Expect to see buffalos, elephants, lions, wildebeests, zebras, hippos, and even elusive cats like caracals and servals. If you're lucky, you might even spot a rare rhinos!
You'll enjoy lunch by a hippo lake before continuing your safari. Afterwards, you can either continue your game drive for another couple of hours or start driving directly to your next lodge.

You have a full day to explore Serengeti at your own pace! Your guide will help you spot the wildlife you're most excited to see and adjust the schedule to suit your preferences.
