Day 1
Lake Chala
Lake Chala
You'll meet the driver-guide at the hotel for a short briefing before heading to Lake Chala. The surrounding area is spectacularly interesting, not just because Kilimanjaro can be seen on clear days towering in the background but also because it thrives with life. Walking around you can spot plenty of birds about 200 species and small mammals such as blue monkeys, colobus monkeys, baboons, dik-dik, and kudu. One of the best activities is to go on a walk down the steep crater walls to the water. The walk is very scenic with great views of the lake and vegetation. Swimming is possible but it is advised to stay close to the shore. Another interesting walk is the river bed tour. You'll enjoy a picnic with an amazing view in the afternoon and canoeing activity before heading back to your reserved accommodation.

Day 2
Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park
After breakfast, you will be met by our driver-guide, deliver a short briefing then head into the Tarangire National Park for a game drive. The park runs along the line of the Tarangire River and is mainly made up of low-lying hills on the Great Rift Valley floor. Its natural vegetation mainly consists of acacia woodland and giant African baobab trees, with huge swamp areas in the south. Both the river and the swamps act like a magnet for wild animals, during Tanzania’s dry season. The Tarangire National Park is reputed to contain some of the largest elephant herds in Africa. This African national park is also home to three rare species of animals – the greater Kudu, the fringed-eared oryx, as well as a few Ashy Starlings. You'll eat lunch at a picnic after which you continue with the game drive until late evening. Then, you'll drive to the accommodation for an overnight stay.

Day 3
Ngorongoro Crater - Arusha/Airport
Ngorongoro Crater - Arusha/Airport
After an early breakfast, you will descend over 600 meters into the crater to view wildlife for a half-day safari tour. Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro Crater 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, which include 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. After lunch, you will start ascending from the crater and return to Moshi/Arusha or Kilimanjaro Airport.
