2 travelers on Start dateTarangire National Park
After an early breakfast, we head to Tarangire National Park. In 1970, the national park emerged from a former colonial hunting ground. He has a very diverse animal world, not least because of its size, which corresponds to approximately Luxembourg. The park is home to one of the largest elephant populations in the north of Tanzania, but is also home to many other wild animals. With some luck you can spot lions, cheetahs or leopards. The landscape of the park is very diverse. Especially the huge baobab trees, which are located close together in the north-eastern sector of the park, are particularly impressive. In the late afternoon you will drive to overnight at Eileen's Trees Inn.

Ngorongoro Crater
After the breakfast, drive will take you up the steep slopes of the East African Rift Valley to the Crater. Afterwards it continues on rough roads about 600 meters downwards into the crater. The crater has a diameter of 17-21 kilometers and is the home of a great animal kingdom. Nearly all the biodiversity of the East African savannah is gathered here, only giraffes and a few other animal species for which the rock faces are too steep do not live in the crater. Depending on the season, 15,000 to 25,000 animals are gathered here, more than two thirds are buffaloes, gnus, zebras and gazelles. This large number of grazers also explains why the crater contains the largest density of predators in Africa. Beside other predators, more than 100 lions live here in several prides. The chances of watching the "Big Five" lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and leopard within just a few hours are particularly good. After lunch we drive up and out of the steep crater walls and then drive to Arusha.
