Overview

Six days across northern Tanzania's classic parks. Tarangire for elephant herds and baobabs, the Ngorongoro Crater floor for Big Five in a single morning, then three nights in the Serengeti timed for the wildebeest migration — its Mara River crossings happen July to October depending on the herd's movement.

Route: Arusha → Tarangire → Ngorongoro → Serengeti → Arusha
