Day 1

Zanzibar - Tarangire

Zanzibar - Tarangire

Upon arrival in Arusha airport [ARK] from Zanzibar in the morning, you will be meet by your Safari guide
then drive to Tarangire National Park. The estimated driving time is 2 hours. We will overnight at Heart & Soul Lodge.

Tarangire National Park is almost 3,000 sq km in size and is probably best known for its huge numbers of elephants and baobab trees. The name of the park comes from the Tarangire River which crosses through the park. Tarangire is especially spectacular during the dry season (June - November) as wildlife concentrations rival that of the Serengeti. Enormous populations of elephants and other animals are drawn to the Tarangire River as their only source of water. With its varied habitats and permanent water in the Tarangire River, the park is home to over 2,000 elephants and 500 bird species.

Main Destination:
Tarangire National Park
Best Time To Visit July to November (Animals come to the Tarangire River)
High Season June to October (The park is full of visitors)
Best Weather June to October (Little rainfall)

Day 2

Tarangire to Ngorongoro Crater

Tarangire to Ngorongoro Crater

After breakfast, we descend into the crater for a crater game tour. Later on, you will drive back to Karatu for your overnight stay at Heart & Soul Lodge.

Often called the eighth Natural Wonder of the World, the Ngorongoro Crater is the largest intact crater in the world. About 2 million years ago the Ngorongoro volcano erupted, and its walls collapsed. The volcano floor sank to create a natural enclosure with 600m-tall walls. Now, over 19 km wide, the Ngorongoro Crater is filled with great areas of acacia forest, hippo-filled swamps, and open grasslands. These different habitats contain over 30,000 animals - including elephants, warthogs, flamingoes, magnificent birdlife, the rare black rhinoceros, and all the predatory cats. The Maasai can also be seen grazing their cattle alongside the buffalo and wildebeest.

Main Destination:
Ngorongoro Crater
Best Time To Visit June to October (Wildlife viewing is best)
High Season Most of the year – July to March (Expect crowds)
Best Weather June to October (Rainfall is little to none)

Lake Manyara - Zanzibar

After breakfast, you will be picked up by your safari guide and drive to Lake Manyara National Park for a game drive.
Later on, you will drive back to Arusha and proceed to Kilimanjaro International/ Arusha Airport for your flight back to Zanzibar.

Lake Manyara is a small but beautiful park that is famous for its tree-climbing lions, elephants, and large troops of baboons. The park is home to an amazing variety of birds and animals considering its size. A short visit to this serene park will greatly diversify your safari experience, as the lush green jungle habitat is in stark contrast to the other parks you will visit during your safari.
