Pick up in Arusha area – Transfer to Tarangire National Park

You will be picked up from the hotel in the Arusha area and transferred to Tarangire National Park for a safari game drive.

Arusha is the safari capital of the country and a bustling, tourism-driven city. You will be met by your driver-guide, and together, you will begin the transfer to Tarangire National Park to start your private safari game drive. The park's name originates from the Tarangire River, which crosses the park and is the main source of fresh water for the wildlife. This quiet park is famous for its elephant migration, birdlife and authentic safari atmosphere.

You will enjoy a packed lunch at midday, and at the end of the afternoon’s game drive, you will make your way to the lodge. On arrival, you will have time to refresh before finishing the day with dinner under the stars and a good night’s sleep in one of our comfy accommodations.

Main Destination:
Tarangire National Park
Best Time To Visit July to November (Animals come to the Tarangire River)

Day 2

Excursion - Maasai Boma

Excursion - Maasai Boma

Today is an easy day - African style - about keeping it cultural.

One of the favourite Swahili expressions is pole pole (slow slow), and that’s exactly how today will go! You may wish to sleep in or perhaps enjoy a second coffee while watching the animals graze near the restaurant. After breakfast, you will visit the traditional home of the Maasai, the Maasai boma, which consists of a variety of small huts made of mud, sticks and cow dung.

The boma is surrounded by a circular “fence” of thorny bushes to protect the tribe and their cattle from predators. During your visit, you can learn a traditional dance, engage in a conversation about daily life, traditions and customs and admire the beautiful beadworks of the Maasai women. The remainder of the day can be spent in relaxation mode; take a refreshing swim in the pool, read a book, and before you know it, it is time for a meal with fresh vegetables from the lodge.

Main Destination:
Maasai Village (Cultural Village)
Accommodation:
Eileen's Trees Inn
  • Mid-range lodge located in Karatu (Town)

Safari game drive in Ngorongoro Crater

Safari game drive in Ngorongoro Crater

Nothing but nature – Ngorongoro Crater magic!

Be sure to wake up early today so there is no delay on your descent into the famous Ngorongoro Crater. As soon as you arrive in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, you will be amazed by the beauty around you. Even more so when you arrive at the edge of the crater and take in the amazing view over one of the natural wonders of this world.

The crater of this inactive volcano is approximately 3 million years old, 20 square kilometres in size and the largest unbroken volcanic caldera in the world. Due to its natural borders, the wildlife in the crater is amazing. The crater is home to the Big Five and offers a good chance to spot the rare black rhino. Throw hyena, zebra, buffalo and elephant into the mix, and you have the perfect canvas for a pretty awesome safari experience.

At the end of the afternoon, you head back to the lodge for a well-deserved night’s sleep.

Ngorongoro Crater
Best Time To Visit June to October (Wildlife viewing is best)

Day 4

Lake Manyara National Park – Transfer to Arusha area

Lake Manyara National Park – Transfer to Arusha area

After a good night's sleep, today is the "day of the lounging lions".

Enjoy an early breakfast before checking out. You will be driven to Lake Manyara National Park. The park is approximately 330 square kilometres, of which 200 square kilometres make up the lake itself when water levels are at a maximum.

From a sea of pink flamingos as far as the eye can see to bull elephants at close range, Lake Manyara showcases a superb variety of herd animals and birdlife. One of the very special aspects of this park is the tree-climbing lions. After exploring this park with its groundwater forest, in mid-afternoon, you commence the drive back to Arusha, where it all started.

Your heart and camera are full of memories from your African safari adventure. You will be dropped off at the hotel in Arusha.
