Its remarkable bird diversity and massive largest elephant herds in Africa are some of the features that makes its uniqueness. The park is less crowded and quieter than other Tanzanian parks, which makes it a great spot to see wildlife in a calmer setting. The whole day will be spent in the park, including a walking safari.

Accommodation; Tarangire Safari Lodge.
Meals Plan; Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner.
Day 7; Tarangire – Serengeti National Park
It's a fantastic day for a migration safari to see wildlife in the Serengeti National Park. Where the migratory herds are, they will determine which areas you visit. Predators such as lions, leopards (in the acacia trees), and cheetahs typically trail closely behind the trekking animals. The herds travel from the northern hills to the southern plains during the brief rainy season in November and December. They move back up north in April and June, which is the longer rainy season. The herd's exact locations may change from year to year because their migration is entirely reliant on the annual rainfalls, but your guide will be able to tell you where to look for the animals and where to get the best views. You will stay at the Serengeti Simba Lodge for the night.
Accommodation; Serengeti Simba Lodge.
Meals Plan; Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner.

Get up and shine! The day is bright and new! At dawn, after breakfast, make your way to the crater floor. At 2,000 feet, or roughly 610 meters, the Ngorongoro Crater is quite deep. It is a vast volcanic caldera created when a massive volcano collapsed, and its depth adds to its special and rich ecosystem, supporting a wide variety of wildlife inside its boundaries. Over 25,000 mammals, including the "Big Five" of lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard, as well as spotted hyenas, rare golden jackals, and some of the more than 350 bird species that call the massive collapsed volcano home, can be found there. Following a long game drive and a picnic lunch, you will depart the caldera in the afternoon and travel to Karatu before reaching Lake Manyara on the following day. Dinner and an overnight stay at Country Lodge Karatu.

After breakfast, take the route to Lake Manyara. The park is home to giraffes, hippos, wildebeests, impalas, and noisy monkey and baboon groups. The alkaline lake covers a large portion of the park and serves as the seasonal breeding ground for large colonies of water birds. The forest surrounding the gate is a good nesting area for pelicans, herons, and marabou stock. After enjoying a picnic lunch and an afternoon game drive, you will depart the park and head to Arusha, where you will be dropped off at your accommodation. Alternatively, based on the timing of your flight (as previously advised), you will be dropped off at Kilimanjaro International Airport in preparation for your international return journey.
