FULL ITINERARY
Day 1:
Arusha to Tarangire
Your adventure begins with a morning pickup from your hotel in Arusha. Journey south to Tarangire National Park, famed for its ancient baobab trees, unique landscapes, and one of the highest concentrations of elephants in Tanzania. As you drive through the park, the interplay of light and shadow on the grasslands sets the stage for memorable photographic opportunities.
Observe elephant families interacting along the riverbanks, lions lazing under acacia trees, and herds of giraffes and zebras wandering gracefully across the terrain. Stop for a scenic picnic lunch beside the wildlife-rich river, and continue your afternoon game drive, pausing at overlooks with panoramic views of the park.
As the sun dips behind the horizon, the silhouettes of baobabs and wildlife create unforgettable images. After a day of exploration, transfer to your lodge for dinner and overnight amidst the tranquility of the African wilderness.

Tarangire to Serengeti
After breakfast, travel through the Ngorongoro Highlands, pausing at the crater rim for a breathtaking vista of the Ngorongoro Crater a natural amphitheater of life and one of Africa’s most spectacular landscapes. Continuing into the Serengeti, the land unfolds into golden endless plains, home to millions of wildebeests, thousands of zebras, and countless antelopes.
This is prime territory for big cats. Lions patrol the open savannah, cheetahs crouch in tall grass ready to sprint, and elusive leopards rest in the shade of acacias. Your guide will position you in the best locations for wildlife photography, while the light of late afternoon adds warmth and depth to every frame.
Afternoon game drives reveal the rich diversity of the Serengeti: jackals, hyenas, mongooses, and over 500 species of birds, all part of a living canvas that changes with the sun. Return to your lodge for dinner and an overnight stay, while the sounds of the savannah lull you to sleep.
