Day 1
Arusha National Park
Arusha National Park
In the morning, we will pick you up from your hotel and take you to the Arusha National Park.
The park has an incredible variety of flora and fauna. Your day trip will include a visit to the Ngurdoto Crater. Buffaloes, waterbucks, giraffes, warthogs, zebras, and baboons can be seen all year round as well as many different bird species. At the Momella Gate, a ranger will be waiting for you to accompany you on the walking safari which will give you the chance to experience the wildlife up close. Only a few other national parks in Tanzania give you such an opportunity. It is something that should not be missed. Lunch will be taken at a picnic place and in the afternoon, you will continue your tour in the safari vehicle through the Arusha National Park.
After plenty of time allocated for you to observe the wildlife, we will take you back to your accommodation.

Day 2
Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park
Today you will set out early, collecting you from your Arusha hotel and heading south to stunning Tarangire National Park. You will arrive at the picnic site, in time for a pleasant lunch. Your afternoon game drive will reveal all the wonders of Tarangire, a national park often referred to as the ‘Elephant Playground.’ Herds of up to 300 of these mighty mammals are sometimes seen in the park.
Serengeti may be better known, but Tarangire in the dry season easily rivals it for animal densities. As well as the herds of elephants Tarangire is home to buffalos, lions, wildebeests, zebra, and gazelles while gerenuks and fringe-eared oryx are ‘local specialties’. Lake Burungi’s marshy shores are the lure for these mammals and the waters attract many beautiful bird species, too. Look out for giant kingfishers, hoopoes, and the delightfully-named white-bellied go-away bird. Tarangire is noted for its splendid baobab trees, rolling savannah and acacia woodland.

Day 3
Ngorongoro Crater Tour
Ngorongoro Crater Tour
Before your thoughts turn to home. Ngorongoro Crater is often referred to as a wonder of the world and your early morning game drive shows you why.
First, there’s the volcanic caldera (the world’s largest), full of grassland, forest, and swamp, a setting of jaw-dropping beauty. Secondly, the permanent water of the crater floor supports a resident population of more than 25,000 large mammals. Here you’ll find many of the reasons you chose to come on safari: elephants, lions, leopards, hyenas, jackals, wallowing hippos, waterbucks, baboons, and even the rare black rhino find shelter here.
Sharing this awesome space with the animals are the Maasai, grazing their cattle in an area that has been a separate conservation area since 1956 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1978. This harmonious co-habitation of man and beast makes Ngorongoro unique in Tanzania and your driver guide will be pleased to explain this incredible co-existence to you.
