Life on Safari
We will pick you up from your hotel and after meeting the guide, chef, and the other clients. You will drive to Tarangire National Park (2-hr drive), which is famous for its diverse landscape. The park is particularly known for its abundance of ancient baobab trees and having the largest concentration of elephants in the whole country. It provides unique chances to observe the interaction between elephant families. You will do a game drive through the park depending on where they have reported sightings of animals (mostly predators, lions, cheetahs, and leopards — as they are harder to spot). The herbivores like giraffes, wildebeests, zebras, etc. are plenty to see throughout the park.
After lunch, you will proceed with the game drive and exit the park at around 4:30 pm when you will head to your campsite accommodation for dinner and sleep.

"Our guide Emmanuel was incredible — he spotted a leopard and two lion cubs that three other vehicles completely missed. The most magical experience of our lives."
"The private setup meant we could spend 45 minutes with a cheetah and cubs without feeling rushed. The lodges were far beyond what we expected."
"As first-time safari travelers, we were nervous. From the moment we arrived, Serengeti African Tours took care of everything. The Ngorongoro Crater literally took our breath away."
"Booked through SafariBookings and couldn't be happier. Every detail was handled perfectly. Guide Abouh is extraordinary — his knowledge of wildlife is encyclopaedic."
