In Tarangire, then to Karatu (near Ngorongoro)

Tarangire is a large reserve centred on the Tarangire River which provides permanent water. Resident wildlife includes big herds of zebra, impala, wildebeest as well as buffalo, giraffe, warthog, eland, big cats (especially cheetah) and many birds.

Game viewing in the Serengeti
Today you have a full day in the world-famous Serengeti National Park and can arrange your activities with your driver/guide.
