Your guide will meet you after breakfast and brief you on your safari en-route to Tarangire National Park.

This beautiful park is home to the largest populations of elephants globally and features the greatest variety of breeding bird species. Particularly in the dry season, Tarangire National Park teems with wildlife. You’ll spend two nights at Tarangire Elephant Springs. Savor sundowners in the expansive plains before heading back to camp. Furthermore, you’ll have the chance to see magnificent big cats like lions, cheetahs, and leopards, as well as the seldom-seen Kudu, Oryx, and Gerenuk. If luck is on your side, you may even spot the elusive tree-climbing python.

The day commenced after breakfast as we embarked on a game drive from Tarangire to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

Upon arrival at Ngorongoro Lion’s Paw, enjoy a hot lunch and take some time to relax. The beautifully designed suites at Lion’s Paw provide stunning panoramic views of the crater, along with all the luxuries needed for a truly comfortable stay.

One of the main attractions is the lodge’s close proximity to the descent road, just a kilometer from the Lemala gate, allowing Lion’s Paws guests to be among the first to reach the crater floor each morning. A variety of activities led by knowledgeable guides makes this an exceptional base for exploring Ngorongoro Crater and its surroundings.

Prepare to be amazed by breathtaking views, lush forests, and refreshing temperatures.

Leave the hustle and bustle behind and join us for a guided game drive through the Ngorongoro Highlands.

Today, you embark on an adventure to the Ngorongoro Crater for an unforgettable game drive. This stunning location is home to nearly 30,000 animals, including the iconic Big Five. The crater is alive with the presence of zebras, buffaloes, lions, wildebeest, warthogs, baboons, elephants, flamingos, ostriches, hippos, cheetahs, and a small number of the elusive black rhino. The vibrant colors and swirling clouds create an almost dreamlike atmosphere in the crater.

Due to its breathtaking scenery, the Ngorongoro Crater has been recognized as one of Africa’s Seven Natural Wonders. As the day winds down, make your way to the Ndutu Region at Lemala Ndutu Camp.. Travel through the highlands to Ndutu in the southern Serengeti, where the Great Wildebeest Migration can be seen from December until April.

This is the time when the wildebeest give birth to their young, so expect to see the region bursting with new life.

Discover one of the finest wildlife observation spots during the lush green season:

Ndutu, located between the South Serengeti and North West Ngorongoro. This area is a key part of the Great Migration from December to April, where herds feed and give birth on the mineral-rich short grasslands.

Experience the abundance of hoofed mammals, along with the iconic predators that follow their migration in a clockwise direction.

Start your day early by leaving your camp to follow the Great Migration across the expansive plains. Ndutu provides excellent chances to see lions and cheetahs in action, with off-road game drives allowed.

The park is home to six species of cats year-round: African wildcat, caracal, serval, cheetah, leopard, and lion. You can also spot a variety of wildlife, including giraffes, elephants, warthogs, and hyenas.

Enjoy the views of endless plains and stunning wildlife such as cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, hippos, ostriches, warthogs, aardvarks, pangolins, and many beautiful birds. Serengeti, boasting the largest concentration of mammals globally, offers this beauty. However, discover it all on an afternoon game drive.
