Arusha - Tarangire National Park

Arusha - Tarangire National Park

With a packed lunch, we depart from Arusha for a two-hour drive through the Maasai Steppe toward Tarangire National Park. As we enter the park, we’ll be greeted by a landscape dominated by majestic baobabs rising out of the acacia parkland, forming a perfect backdrop for the large herds of African elephants wandering among them. Other mammals sharing this habitat range from lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dog, and black-backed jackal, to Kirk’s dik-dik, the dwarf and banded mongoose, impala, Beisa oryx, steenbok, and African hare.

You can also expect to see buffalo, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, and waterbuck. The variety of birds we may see include the Maasai ostrich, white-headed vulture, African scops owl, and the endemic ashy starling. Enjoy lunch in the park and later in the afternoon, we drive to Pamoja Farm Lodge for dinner and overnight.

After an early breakfast at your lodge, you will drive to the Ngorongoro Crater with a packed lunch. Upon arrival at Ngorongoro, you will start descending the crater for a game drive. We venture onto the crater floor for an up-close look at the residents of this World Heritage Site and enjoy a picnic lunch here. The Ngorongoro Crater provides great game viewing all year round.

Day 4

Karatu - Lake Manyara National Park

Karatu - Lake Manyara National Park

After breakfast, you will drive to Lake Manyara National Park for a full-day game drive. The park’s namesake is a shallow, salt lake. It covers a large area of the park, flooding and drying with the seasons, and is home to thousands of flamingos and over 500 other bird species. On your exploration of the park, you will see monkeys, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, buffalos, elephants, and with some luck, lions lounging in the trees. The park is known for its diverse landscapes - not only open, grassy plains but also primate-filled woodlands and baobab-dotted cliffs. After an extensive drive, you will drive back to Arusha.
