After breakfast, depart Arusha and drive to Tarangire National Park.nnThe landscape changes as you enter the park, with huge baobab trees, open savannah and the Tarangire River creating a beautiful setting for wildlife.nnEnjoy an afternoon game drive searching for elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffalo, lions and other wildlife.nnAs the sun begins to lower over the baobabs, continue to your lodge or camp for a relaxed evening.

Today is the heart of the safari.nnSpend the entire day exploring the Western Corridor and the area around the Grumeti River.nnThe region is characterised by riverine forests, open grasslands and the Grumeti and Mbalageti rivers. It is home to large numbers of resident wildlife including elephants, giraffes, wildebeest, zebras and lions, while the migrating herds may pass through during the Mayu2013July period.nnIf the migration is in the area, your guide will follow the movement of the herds and look for opportunities to observe their progress towards the river.nnA Grumeti River crossing may occur around late June or early July, but migration timing is natural and cannot be guaranteed.nnFor guests travelling in June, the Western Corridor can also offer the opportunity for a Serengeti balloon safari, as balloon operations are available in this area from June to October.
