Arusha to Tarangire National Park

We pick you up from your hotel at 8:00 am, and after meeting your guide, we will drive for 2 hours to Tarangire, which is famous for its diverse landscape. The park is particularly known for its abundance of ancient baobab trees and having the largest concentration of elephants in the country. It provides unique chances to observe the interaction between elephant families. We will do a game drive depending on where there are reported sightings of animals (mostly predators like lions, cheetahs and leopards, as they are harder to spot). Giraffes, wildebeests, zebras, etc, are plenty to see throughout the park.

We will go to the picnic site and enjoy the beautiful view of the river and animals while having lunch. Small monkeys and baboons will try to scare you away from your lunch, but there is nothing to worry about.

After lunch, we will proceed with the game drive and exit the park around 5:30 pm, when we will head to our accommodation, the Farm of Dream Lodges, for dinner and sleep.

After an early breakfast, we will depart from our lodge for a drive via the Rift Valley to the cooler regions of the Ngorongoro Highlands. The Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest volcanic caldera, was formed by a massive volcano, higher than Kilimanjaro, that exploded 2 to 3 million years ago. It is almost 20km wide and approximately 600m deep. The crater is known for its large variety of wildlife, including the Big Five - lions, elephants, buffalos, rhinos, and leopards. It is well-known as one of the Natural Wonders of the World. In addition to the Big Five, the various springs attract wildebeest, gazelle, reedbuck, and more than 500 bird species.

We will have a scrumptious lunch at the picnic site before enjoying more game viewing in the crater. In the afternoon, we will leave the crater and drive up the steep, winding track on our way back to Arusha.
