After an early breakfast, you will embark on a journey to Tarangire National Park, located approximately 120 kilometers from Arusha. Spanning around 2,850 square kilometers, this park is renowned for its vast elephant herds, ancient baobab trees, and seasonal swamps that attract an abundance of wildlife.

The climate in Tarangire is typically warm and dry, with temperatures ranging between 20-30°C during the day. The Tarangire River, the park’s lifeline, remains a permanent water source, drawing animals from across the region, especially during the dry season. During the morning game drive, you will witness large herds of elephants, sometimes numbering in the hundreds, as they gather near the river. Other wildlife includes giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, impalas, and elands, as well as predators such as lions, leopards, and cheetahs.

A picnic lunch will be enjoyed in the heart of the park, offering a scenic view of the wildlife-rich plains. In the afternoon, you will embark on a guided walking safari, allowing you to experience the bush from a unique perspective. Accompanied by an expert guide, you will learn about the smaller details of the ecosystem, including medicinal plants, animal tracks, and the behavior of smaller mammals.

Covering approximately 14,750 square kilometers, the Serengeti is Tanzania’s most famous park, known for its vast open plains, incredible wildlife diversity, and the Great Migration.

The climate in the Serengeti varies depending on the region, with Seronera experiencing warm temperatures ranging between 15-28°C. The central Serengeti is characterized by rolling grasslands, acacia woodlands, and rocky outcrops known as kopjes, which provide ideal hiding spots for predators.

As you traverse the park, you will witness thousands of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles, alongside large predators such as lions, leopards, and cheetahs. Seronera is one of the best places in Africa to see leopards, as they often rest in the branches of acacia trees.

Dinner will be served under the stars, accompanied by the distant roars of lions.

Rising with the sun, you will embark on a morning game drive in the eastern Serengeti, a region known for its high concentration of cheetahs. The Gol Kopjes, scattered rock formations, provide vantage points for lions and leopards as they survey their territory. The eastern Serengeti is a predator’s paradise, with open grasslands that allow cheetahs to reach their top speeds while hunting gazelles. You may also encounter spotted hyenas, jackals, and bat-eared foxes.

Lunch will be served at a scenic picnic site, allowing you to take in the beauty of the Serengeti while enjoying a delicious meal.

As the day draws to a close, you will return to Serenity Lodge for another night of comfort and relaxation. Dinner will be served in the lodge’s elegant dining area, featuring a variety of dishes made from fresh, locally sourced ingredients.

This vast volcanic caldera spans 260 square kilometers and is home to over 25,000 animals. The crater’s climate is cooler than the surrounding lowlands, with temperatures ranging between 10-25°C. The diverse ecosystem includes grasslands, forests, and lakes, supporting a variety of wildlife.

Lunch will be enjoyed near the Hippo Pool, where you can watch these massive creatures wallow in the water. During the game drive, you will encounter large herds of buffalo, zebras, wildebeests, and gazelles, alongside predators such as lions and hyenas. The crater is also one of the best places in Tanzania to see the rare black rhinoceros.

As the sun sets, you will return to Farm of Dreams Lodge, where a delicious dinner and a comfortable bed await.
