08h00: After breakfast, depart with lunch boxes on board and proceed to Tarangire National Park for a full-day game drive inside the park. Tarangire National Park is the sixth-largest national park in Tanzania, and it is located in the Manyara region. The name of the park originates from the Tarangire River that crosses the park. The Tarangire ecosystem is defined by the long-distance migration of wildebeest and zebras. During the dry season, thousands of animals concentrate in Tarangire National Park from the surrounding wet-season dispersal and calving areas. It covers an area of approximately 2,850 square kilometers (1,100 square miles.) The landscape is composed of granitic ridges, river valleys, and swamps. Vegetation is a mix of Acacia woodland, Commiphora-combretum woodland, seasonally flooded grassland, and baobab trees. At noon, stop for brunch, then proceed for the next part of the game drive. Return to the Manyara area for dinner and overnight at the Kizumba campsite.

Day 5

Ngorongoro Crater - Arusha

Ngorongoro Crater - Arusha

Descend the crater rim for a half-day tour with a picnic lunch. This is Tanzania's "secret garden", which contains a hidden world of teeming wildlife. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA), measuring 8,300 square kilometres, is also the only place on earth where mankind and wild animals co-exist in harmony. The NCA became a Man and Biosphere Reserve in 1971 and was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979. Its uniqueness lays in the fact that the NCA is where man, livestock and wild animals live in peace - Maasai cattle can sometimes be seen grazing alongside zebras on Ngorongoro's grassland. Apart from conserving world heritage, Ngorongoro plays a major role in national development. "We pay 30 percent corporate tax, 3 percent tourism tax, and remit 10 percent of our earnings to the treasury", explains Bernard Murunya, the NCAA's Chief Conservator. Later, drive back to Arusha for drop-off at Swahili House & Art L.
