Animals gather at the life-giving Tarangire River, and you should see a selection of mammals ranging from giraffes, bushbucks, and hartebeests to the weird-looking gerenuk and fringe-eared oryx. The park is also home to buffalo, zebras, and wildebeests, which are always closely followed by a range of predators such as lions. In the Tarangire park, Cheetah and leopard are available in the park, but sometimes it's rare to see them. From the open roof of the safari vehicle, you will be able to absorb the landscape and watch the animals. In the afternoon, you will have a break to have lunch.

Day 5

Serengeti National Park - Full Game Drive

After breakfast, the entire day is set aside for game drives in the Serengeti. The Serengeti habitat, abundant with wildlife such as impala, buffalo, crocodile, and hippo, is more well-known for its great migrating herds of zebra and wildebeest. The animals' trek is determined by the rainfall year to year. In November and December, the animals move from the northern region, dominated by woodlands and savannah, to the endless plains of the south. During the longer rainy season from April to June, they return to the north, passing the western corridor of the Serengeti (Kirawira Area). Apart from the migrating herds, we may have the opportunity to see the resident predators: leopard, cheetah, and lion, fulfilling their role in the circle of life. After an unforgettable day of full game drive, we will later have lunch and continue the game drive into the evening, then return to the camp at Seronera Valley for relaxation, dinner, and overnight stay.
