Ngorongoro Crater
You will begin your day with a flight from Zanzibar to Arusha, followed by a scenic 2-hour drive to the Ngorongoro Crater. Known as the 8th Natural Wonder of the World, it's Earth's largest unbroken crater, formed around 2 million years ago by the collapse of the Ngorongoro Volcano.
Spanning 19 kilometers wide, the crater boasts diverse landscapes, including acacia forests, hippo-filled swamps, and open grasslands. Amidst this rich ecosystem, the Maasai people graze their cattle alongside buffalo and wildebeest. You'll enjoy lunch within the crater before heading to your dinner and overnight accommodation as the day concludes.

Tarangire National Park
Following breakfast, you will embark on a journey to Tarangire National Park for an enthralling game drive. Covering an expansive 3,000 square kilometers, Tarangire is renowned for its abundant elephant population and iconic baobab trees.
The park derives its name from the meandering Tarangire River that traverses its expanse. Particularly remarkable during the dry season (June - November), Tarangire showcases wildlife concentrations akin to those in the Serengeti.
With its diverse habitats and the permanent water source of the Tarangire River, the park boasts a population of over 2,000 elephants and hosts 500 bird species. You'll enjoy lunch within the park before returning to Arusha, and from there, proceed to Kilimanjaro International Airport for your flight back to Zanzibar.
