After one hundred meters in the first five minutes of the game drive, you will be greeted by beautiful herds of wildebeest and zebras. Tree-climbing lions can now be found in Tarangire, not just Lake Manyara, as most people believe. Lunch at the Matete picnic site

Day 3. South Serengeti (Ndutu).
After a hearty breakfast, we will start our game drive early in the morning, exploring the different habitats that are found here, including plains, swamps, and soda lakes, where we may find different species of animals, including wildebeest, zebras, antelopes, and some attractive carnivores such as lions and cheetahs. Over a million wildebeest babies are born here every year, and after a few minutes, the sea of grass offers a great cover for this baby to survive while others fall into the hands of lions and get killed. A picnic lunch will be perfect on this day. After lunch, depart for an evening drive and then drive back to the hotel for dinner and an overnight stay.
