After an early breakfast at your accommodation in Arusha, you will be picked up by your private driver-guide and taken straight to Tarangire National Park, a drive of approximately 2 hours. Tarangire National Park is one of the largest parks in Tanzania and covers an area of 2,600 square kilometres. Tarangire National Park is most popular for its large elephant herds and giant baobab trees. With more than 300-strong herds of elephants, visitors will also find large groups of buffalos and healthy populations of lions and leopards.

During the dry season, Tarangire has the highest concentration of mammals in the country. There are wild dogs and rare antelopes such as gerenuk, plus more than 550 bird species to spot throughout the year. You will enjoy your picnic lunch boxes inside the park in the afternoon. After lunch and further game viewing, you will drive to your accommodation in Karatu for relaxation, dinner, and overnight.

Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha

After an early breakfast at your accommodation, you will drive to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Have a stopover at the viewpoint of the Ngorongoro Crater before you descend the crater. The Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera forming a spectacular bowl of about 265 square kilometres, with sides up to 600 metres deep. It is home to approximately 30,000 mammals.

The crater offers breathtakingly beautiful scenery and is the best place in East Africa to see the "Big Five" (elephant, rhinoceros, buffalo, lion, and leopard). Any safari in Northern Tanzania should ideally include a visit to the Ngorongoro Crater. The crater also offers excellent birding with over 500 species. You will have packed picnic lunch boxes with you and after having lunch at the picnic site, you will proceed with a game drive. In the late afternoon, you will ascend the crater and drive to Arusha where your adventures with us end.
