Make your way to Mount Meru Hotel where the guide will meet you for a morning safari briefing before taking a 2 hour drive to the beautiful Tarangire National Park. Travelling through the reserve in an open air vehicle, experience a close up with the elephants, buffalos, zebras, and maybe leopards. After taking in the wonders of nature, we make our way out of the park and you drive to the Lake Burunge Tented Camp your home for the next two nights.

Our day begins with a thrilling full-day game drive through Tarangire National Park, known for its large herds of elephants and other wildlife congregating along the Tarangire River during the dry season. Experience the magic of the African bush, observing the fascinating behaviors of majestic lions, elegant giraffes, and even the busy dung beetles. Your knowledgeable guide will share their expertise on the park’s diverse wildlife and ecosystems. After a day filled with incredible sightings, return to the Lake Burunge Baobab Tented Lodge, located just outside the park’s borders, where you can reflect on the day’s adventures

Your journey today takes you through cooler lands towards the biggest park in Tanzania – The Serengeti National Park. With its unique rock formations (commonly know as kopjes) dot the grassy landscapes and are the home of many predators. The park is well known for the yearly migrations of hundreds of thousands of wildebeests and zebras searching for fresh grass and water. Your camp for the night is determined by the season you travel in, you will be set up inside the park at Kati Kati Tented Camp.

Spend the day on game drives exploring the Serengeti National Park. The migration of the herds determines the areas you visit in the park. The herds are usually followed by predators such as lion, leopards and cheetahs.  The herds move to different side of the park depending on the season – during the short rainy season they would move to the south and during the longer rainy season they would move to the northern side. Spend another night at the same camp before the next days journey.
