Meet your professional safari guide and fellow travelers before heading to Tarangire National Park, one of Tanzania's hidden gems and one of the best wildlife destinations in East Africa. Tarangire is renowned for its giant baobab trees, ancient landscapes, seasonal swamps, and one of the highest concentrations of elephants in Africa. During your full-day game drive, keep your camera ready as you search for elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffaloes, impalas, warthogs, ostriches, and numerous bird species. The Tarangire River attracts wildlife throughout the year, making this park one of the best places for exceptional game viewing.

The dramatic river crossing is one of the most breathtaking wildlife spectacles on Earth. Spend the day following the migration as your experienced safari guide positions you at the best viewing locations. If nature is on your side, witness thousands of animals courageously plunge into the crocodile-filled Mara River. At the same time, predators wait nearby an unforgettable experience that few places in the world can offer. Northern Serengeti is also home to lions, elephants, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, topis, elands, and abundant birdlife. After an extraordinary day, relax and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the northern Serengeti wilderness.
