The Cheetah safari adventure will take you to the Tarangire national park to start your journey. Tarangire park delivers beautiful landscapes in the dry and wet seasons, known for its high number of elephants and many bird species. Gaze across the planes littered with herds of zebras, wildebeest, and various antelope species. Drive to the Ngorongoro crater, a volcanic caldera hiding within its walls a rich diversity of animals and a salt lake located in the center of the park, one of the seven natural wonders of Africa. Continue onwards to the one and only Serengeti National Park. The drive there exposes you to the great rift valley, a majestic and stunning geographical feature that rips through the landscape and shapes everything around it. Then enjoy this world heritage site – the one and only Serengeti park, with over 4000 lions, 1000 leopards, and over 2 million antelopes and large mammals waiting for you to explore it. During the cheetah safari, you’ll also expose yourself to the rich culture of the nomadic Maasai people by visiting one of their villages. End your trip by flying out of the Serengeti airstrip, which will give you stunning views of the vastness of this park, to Kilimanjaro Airport, or straight to Zanzibar. We highly recommend adding this travel plan to our Simply Zanzibar travel plan.
Remember to book a balloon safari in the Serengeti as an add-on to this incredible travel plan.
