Day 3: Of Giants & Baobabs – Full Day Tarangire Safari
A full day of wildlife encounters awaits. Sunrise reveals the park at its most active—herds crossing rivers, predators on the hunt, and birdlife flitting through the trees. Between drives, enjoy a relaxed lunch and storytelling with your guide. Your lodge’s natural surroundings create the perfect ending to this immersive day.

A picnic lunch by the hippo pool and afternoon ascent offer a balance of excitement and awe.
Accommodation: Rhino Lodge / Ngorongoro Farm House – Karatu
Day 7: The Great Migration Beckons – Serengeti Bound
The drive to Serengeti is an experience on its own—rolling hills, scattered wildlife, and Maasai settlements en route to one of Africa’s most legendary parks.

Accommodation: Kati Kati Tented Camp / Serengeti Heritage Camp – Central Serengeti
Days 8 & 9: Living the Legend – Full Serengeti Experience
Your days begin with the golden light of dawn and the distant calls of the wild.

Day 10: Farewell to the Wild – Return to Kilimanjaro or Zanzibar Extension
