Zanzibar to Ngorongoro Crater
In the morning, you will fly from Zanzibar to Arusha where you will meet and drive to Ngorongoro Crater. The estimated driving distance is 2 hours. 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 its 600m tall walls. Now, over 19km 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 predatory cats.
The Maasai can also be seen grazing their cattle alongside the buffalo and wildebeest. You will have lunch with the crater and then in the late evening, you will be taken to the place where you will have your dinner and spend your night.

Tarangire National Park
After breakfast, you will drive to Tarangire National Park for the amazing game drive. Tarangire National Park is almost 3,000sq 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. You will have lunch in the park and then later on, you will drive back to Arusha and proceed to Kilimanjaro International Airport for your flight back to Zanzibar.
