Tarangire National Park spans nearly 3,000 square kilometers and is renowned for its large herds of elephants and iconic baobab trees. The park derives its name from the Tarangire River, which meanders through its terrain.

The park's diverse habitats support over 2,000 elephants and host more than 500 bird species.

The dry season is a particularly good time for lion viewing in the Central Serengeti. The Central Serengeti is also one of the best areas in Africa to spot the elusive leopard. You may be lucky enough to encounter this majestic cat in the branches of the sausage trees that dot the banks of the Seronera River.

Day 5
Ngorongoro Crater - Departure
Ngorongoro Crater - Departure
Today after breakfast you will descend into the crater for a crater game tour. Often called the Eighth Natural Wonder of the World, the Ngorongoro Crater is the largest intact crater in the world. About 2 million years ago the Ngorongoro volcano erupted, and its walls collapsed. The volcano floor sank to create a natural enclosure with its 600m tall walls. Now, over 19 kilometers wide, Ngorongoro Crater is filled with great areas of acacia forest, hippo-filled swamps, and open grasslands. These different habitats contain over 30,000 animals — including elephants, warthogs, flamingoes, magnificent birdlife, the rare black rhinoceros, and all the predatory cats. The Maasai can also be seen grazing their cattle alongside the buffalo and wildebeest.
Later in the evening, you will drive back to the Arusha. The drop-off point will be advised.
Breakfast, lunch, and drinking water will be provided every day per person during the safari.
