Tarangire National Park
Day after day of cloudless skies.
The fierce sun sucks the moisture from the landscape,
baking the earth a dusty red, the withered grass as
brittle as straw. The Tarangire River has shrivelled to
a shadow of its wet season self. But it is choked with
wildlife. Thirsty nomads have wandered hundreds of
parched kilometres knowing that here, always, there is
water.
Herds of up to 300 elephants scratch the dry river bed
for underground streams, while migratory wildebeest,
zebra, buffalo, impala, gazelle, hartebeest and eland
crowd the shrinking lagoons. It's the greatest
concentration of wildlife outside the Serengeti
ecosystem - a smorgasbord for predators – and the one
place in Tanzania where dry-country antelope such as the
stately fringe-eared oryx and peculiar long-necked
gerenuk are regularly observed.
During the rainy season, the seasonal visitors scatter
over a 20,000 sq km (12,500 sq miles) range until they
exhaust the green plains and the river calls once more.
But Tarangire's mobs of elephant are easily encountered,
wet or dry.
The swamps, tinged green year round, are the focus for
550 bird varieties, the most breeding species in one
habitat anywhere in the world.
On drier ground you find the Kori bustard, the heaviest
flying bird; the stocking-thighed ostrich, the world's
largest bird; and small parties of ground hornbills
blustering like turkeys.
More ardent bird-lovers might keep an eye open for
screeching flocks of the dazzlingly colourful
yellow-collared lovebird, and the somewhat drabber
rufous-tailed weaver and ashy starling – all endemic to
the dry savannah of north-central Tanzania.
Disused termite mounds are often frequented by colonies
of the endearing dwarf mongoose, and pairs of
red-and-yellow barbet, which draw attention to
themselves by their loud, clockwork-like duetting.
Tarangire's pythons climb trees, as do its lions and
leopards, lounging in the branches where the fruit of
the sausage tree disguises the twitch of a tail.

5 Days Tarangire - Serengeti - Ngorongoro Camping Safari
Day 1 Tarangire National Park
After morning breakfast at the hotel, we
will head to Tarangire National Park, a few
hours out into the bush in Masai country.
Located 120km from Arusha, Tarangire is the
sixth largest park in Tanzania. With baobab
and acacia trees, much like the Serengeti,
Tarangire is home to legions of elephants,
which inhabit this park in large herds. In
the park you also find other game such as
rhino, buffalo, eland, warthog, the
fringe-eared oryx, lesser and greater kudu,
gerenuk and a large number of impala.
Day 2 Tarangire National Park - Serengeti
National Park
From Tarangire National Park, we will travel
to the legendary Serengeti National Park.
This will be about a four to five hour
drive, driving on the Rim of the Ngorongoro
Crater. More than 6 million hooves pound the
legendary plains of the Serengeti. Every
year, triggered by the rains, more than a
million wildebeest, 200,000 zebra and
300,000 Thomson's gazelle gather to
undertake the long trek to new grazing
lands. Tanzania's first and most famous
park, the Serengeti is renowned for its
wealth of leopard, lion and large
concentrations of animals. Stay at Seronera
Camp Site
Day 3 Serengeti National Park
We have a full day of game drives in the
Serengeti from sunrise to sunset, exploring
hippos pools, looking for lions, and
discovering animals around every corner.
This is the day we will try to head to the
migration.
Day 4 Serengeti National Park - Ngorongoro
Crater Rim.
Begin with an early morning departure
through the Serengeti and head to Ngorongoro
Crater. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area,
which lies between the Serengeti and the
Lake Manyara National Parks boasts the
largest unbroken, inactive, and unflooded
caldera in the world. Perhaps having once
been about the same size as Mount
Kilimanjaro, when the volcanic activity
subsided, it collapsed inward resulting in a
crater 18 kilometers (11 miles) across.
Today it's home to legions of animals.
Day 5 Ngorongoro Crater to Moshi
After breakfast, we begin with a sunrise
game drive, which is always rewarding to
watch the animals eating early in the
morning. We will have a picnic lunch at the
bottom of the Ngorongoro crater in mid
afternoon, before beginning our ascent and
long drive back to the airport or your
hotel. This will last for half the day
before we make our way to Moshi, Arusha or
Kilimanjaro International Airport
