After breakfast, the driver-guide will pick up the guests from the hotel and drive to Tarangire National Park. Tarangire is well known for its large herds of elephants. From the open roof of the vehicle, the guests will experience the seasonal swamps, savannah, and Tarangire River in search of many animals including zebras, wildebeests, buffalos, elephants, and giraffes. It is possible to catch a glimpse of a lion stalking its prey or leopards watching and relaxing in the trees above. Accomodation: Marera Valley Lodge
After enjoying an early breakfast, a journey towards one of the most famous national parks in the world, the Serengeti, will begin. Although the drive is long, the scenery is truly spectacular and is sure to be an unforgettable experience for anyone visiting the park for the first time. As the journey progresses deeper into the Serengeti, the name, which means "endless plains" in the local language, becomes more apparent.
Covering an area of 6,900 square miles (18,000 square kilometers), the majority of the park is comprised of vast, open plains that seem to stretch on forever. The park is home to the great migration of over 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and numerous species of antelope. The Serengeti is also the perfect place to spot large predators such as lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas. Many famous television scenes, such as the river crossings, have been filmed here.

It has a dense population of predators which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot.
