Tarangire National Park

In the morning, you will be picked up from your accommodation in Arusha by your personal safari guide. The drive to Tarangire is on a good tarmac road, across the gently rolling Maasai plains with scattered acacia trees. En-route, you will pass many Maasais in their colourful dresses walking on the roadside, riding bicycles, herding their cattle and driving donkey carts.
Tarangire National Park is well known for its large elephant herds. From the open roof of the vehicle, you will experience the seasonal swamps, savanna and Tarangire River in search of many animals including zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, elephant and giraffe. It's possible that you will catch a glimpse of a lion stalking its prey or leopards watching and relaxing in the trees above. After an extensive game drive, having experienced various sights and sounds of the wilderness, you will leave the park and head to a nearby luxury hotel. Here you will enjoy dinner and an overnight stay.

After an early breakfast, you will drive through the Rift Valley to the cooler regions of the Ngorongoro Highlands. The Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest volcanic caldera, is almost 20km wide, approximately 610m deep and is known for its large variety of wildlife, including the “Big Five”—lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and leopard. It should be recognised as one of the world's wonders. It is truly magnificent.
In addition to the Big Five, various springs attract animals such as wildebeests, gazelles, reedbucks and more than 500 bird species. At a picnic site, you will have lunch before enjoying some more game viewing in the crater. You will leave the crater in the afternoon and drive up the steep road out of the crater and return to the hotel.
