You walk on an easy animal trail and may encounter local Masaai with cattle. Arrive in the Camp late afternoon and enjoy time in the camp.
Day 3 – Inside the Crater

The ideal time to visit Tanzania for a safari is during the dry season, from late June to October. The peak months for witnessing the wildebeest migration in the Serengeti are June and July, while the wildebeest calving period occurs from late January to February. The southern and western circuit parks are best explored during the dry season (June to October), while the more popular northern circuit parks can be visited year-round. However, Tarangire stands out as the only park where wildlife viewing is significantly better during the dry season.
