Tarangire National Park

Following an early breakfast, we will depart for Tarangire National Park. Named after the Tarangire River, the park relies on this water source during the dry season, supporting the diverse wildlife in the region. The landscape features dense vegetation, including elephant grass, acacia woodlands, and lush groundwater forests.

Tarangire is renowned for its large herds of elephants, which are frequently seen near the river. Additionally, you may encounter giraffes, bushbucks, and hartebeests, often accompanied by predators such as lions and leopards. The park also boasts the highest number of breeding bird species found anywhere in the world.

After enjoying lunch and an extensive game drive, we will proceed to our partner lodges in Karatu for dinner and overnight accommodation.

Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha

You'll have an early breakfast at the lodge then we'll head straight to the Ngorongoro Crater floor for a game drive. Lunch will be at the hippo pool picnic site. The bottom of the crater is dotted with watering holes, which shelters almost 30 000 animals in an area naturally enclosed by the slopes of the volcano. Ngorongoro is the largest unbroken caldera in the world and surrounded by very steep walls rising 610m from the floor. Covering an area of 259 sq km, it is considered to be one of the eighth Wonders of the Natural World and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is a veritable haven for wildlife. After an extensive game drive, we'll head straight back to Arusha which marks the end of your epic safari.
