Day 1
Moshi to Kilimanjaro Park
Moshi to Kilimanjaro Park
You'll be picked up in the morning at your hotel in Moshi and taken to Kilimanjaro Gate. Once the necessary gate registration has been completed, trek begins and you'll soon be hiking through the dense Kilimanjaro rainforest. Alongside the impressive vegetation, you'll have the chance to catch a glimpse of black and white colobus monkeys, blue monkeys and various bird species. Our guide will explain the different species of plants and animals you'll see. You'll also meet mountain climbers descending from the top, and perhaps some of them will tell you of their experiences and you can start to dream about a climb of your own! After 3 hours hike, you'll reach Mandara Hut, where you'll have a well-earned rest and lunch. Your guide will then take you on a short hike to the Maundi Crater, where you can enjoy wonderful views of Mount Kilimanjaro, Northern Tanzania and Kenya. You'll return to the Marangu Gate, where your vehicle will be waiting for your transfer back to your hotel.

At the park you will enjoy an exciting morning game drive with a short walk at the park, lunch at picnic and afternoon game drive visiting both the Momela Lakes and the Ngurdoto Crater.

Day 3
Arusha to Tarangire Park
Arusha to Tarangire Park
After breakfast you will be met by our guide/driver, deliver short briefing then head into the Tarangire National Park for a game drive. The park runs along the line of the Tarangire River and is mainly made up of low-lying hills on the Great Rift Valley floor. Its natural vegetation mainly consists of Acacia woodland and giant African Baobab trees, with huge swamp areas in the south. Both the river and the swamps act like a magnet for wild animals, during Tanzania’s dry season. The Tarangire National Park is reputed to contain some of the largest elephant herds in Africa. This African national park is also home to three rare species of animals – the Greater Kudu, the Fringed-eared Oryx, as well as a few Ashy Starlings. We eat lunch at picnic after which we continue with game until late evening, and then drive to the accommodation for overnight.

Day 4
Tarangire to Ngorongoro
Tarangire to Ngorongoro
After early breakfast we will descend over 600 meters into the crater to view wildlife for a half day’s safari tour. Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro National Park supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque national park is its dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot. We will visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, which is one of the main features of the crater. A large number of flamingos, hippos and other water birds can usually be seen here. After lunch we will start ascending from the crater and return back to Moshi/Arusha or alternatively to Kilimanjaro airport.
