Day 1
Tarangire National Park
Day 1: Tarangire National Park

If we didn't get a chance to talk about your safari plans when you arrived yesterday, we'll catch up on them after breakfast today, either at your hotel or as soon as you arrive at the airport. After that, we're heading to Tarangire National Park, which is about a two-hour drive from Arusha. During the drive, you'll see a lot of Tanzania's stunning landscapes.

Tarangire is well-known for its many elephants - it's a real elephant hotspot! But that's not all; you'll also have the chance to see buffalo, lions, wildebeest, and a variety of other animals. Keep an eye out for less common animals like kudu and oryx, as well as smaller creatures such as colorful lizards and hyraxes. If you love birds, you're in for a treat with many different kinds to spot, like the vibrant lilac-breasted roller and the large ostrich. The park is also known for its huge baobab trees and expansive grasslands. After a full day of animal watching, we'll return to our camp for dinner and a good night's sleep.

The Serengeti is famous for its huge, open plains that amaze everyone, especially if it's your first visit. Over the next few days, we'll see lots of different animals in this amazing place. Every safari drive here is a new adventure, filled with surprises from the wild. You'll see many animals and beautiful scenes that change with the light of day.

We'll take in the Serengeti's varied scenes, from the water-rich Seronera River to the distinctive kopjes, and large rock formations. Lunch will be outdoors, offering a unique experience that varies with the seasons. Depending on the time of year, we may also witness migrating herds alongside the resident animals, making for spectacular sights.

Day 4: Serengeti National Park

Today, we're going on another exciting trip to the Serengeti, a big park full of wild animals. We'll look for big cats like cheetahs, leopards, and lions. The place changes with the seasons, so there's always something new to see. We'll visit places where animals come to drink water and see big, tall rocks sticking out of the ground. We'll eat lunch outside, right in the middle of nature.

If we're lucky, we might see a huge group of wildebeest and zebras moving together to find food and water. This is called the Great Migration and it's amazing to watch. After a full day of adventure, we'll head back to our place to sleep, have dinner, and talk about everything we saw.
