Safari

The Tarangire National Park is known as a wonderful birding destination and also features large numbers of game, particularly during the dry season, when the Tarangire River is the only source of water in the area. The landscape is of particular interest too, due to the high number of scenic baobab trees.
Late afternoon transfer to Ngorongoro Crater Rim for your overnight stay at Meliá Ngorongoro Collection.
27th June 2025: Early morning descent into Crater for game drives in hopes of witnessing the Big 5. In Africa, the Big Five is made up of the lion, rhinoceros, leopard, elephant and Cape buffalo. All of these animals are viewable within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, including the crater and are protected thanks to the wildlife conservation efforts of Tanzania.

30th June 2025: Set off on an early morning game drive deep within the heart of the wildebeest migration, witnessing the vast herds as they move across the Serengeti plains. Experience the dramatic interactions between predators and prey as lions, cheetahs, and hyenas take advantage of the abundance of wildlife. Enjoy the breathtaking golden hues of the sunrise over the savannah, providing the perfect backdrop for unforgettable wildlife sightings and photography.
In the afternoon, transfer to Grumeti Airstrip for your flight at 1615 with Coastal Aviation, arriving at Arusha Airport (ARK) where you will be met by your TK driver for your transfer to Rivertrees Country Inn for your overnight stay.
