Arusha to Tarangire National Park
We will pick you up from your hotel and after being familiar with the guide and chef, we will drive to Tarangire National Park (2-hour drive) famous for its diverse landscape. The park is particularly known for its abundance of ancient baobab trees and having the largest concentration of elephants in the whole country. This provides unique chances to observe the interaction between elephant families. You will do a game drive through the park depending on where there are reported sightings of animals (mostly predators, lions, cheetahs, and leopards as they are harder to spot) as herbivores (giraffes, wildebeest, zebras, etc. are plenty to see through the park.
Later on, you will go to the Tarangire River picnic site and enjoy the beautiful view of the river and animals while having lunch, small monkeys and baboons will try to scare you of your lunch but there is nothing to worry about.
After the tour, you will head to your accommodation in Mto Wa Mbu at your lodge.

Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha
Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha
Distance: 210km
Non–wildlife viewing time: 3 – 4 hours
After an early breakfast, you will descend over 600 meters into the crater to view wildlife. Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro Conservation area supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebras, buffalos, elands, warthogs, hippos, and giant African elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque national park is its dense population of predators. This includes lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot. You will visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, which is one of the main features of the crater. A large number of flamingos, hippos, and other water birds can usually be seen here. In the late afternoon, you'll transfer to Arusha to your hotel or airport drop-off.
