Day 1

Zanzibar - Arusha - Tarangire National Park

Zanzibar - Arusha - Tarangire National Park

You will depart Arusha with a packed lunch for a two-hour drive through the Maasai steppe towards Tarangire National Park. As you enter the park, you’ll be greeted by a landscape dominated by majestic baobabs rising out of the acacia parklands, forming a perfect backdrop for the large herds of African elephants wandering among them. Other mammals sharing this habitat are lions, leopards, cheetahs, wild dogs, black-backed jackals, Kirk’s dik-dik, dwarf and banded mongoose, impalas, Beisa oryx, Steinboks and African hares. You should expect to also see buffalos, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests and waterbucks. The variety of birds you may see include the Maasai ostrich, white-headed vulture, African scops owls and the endemic ashy starling. You will have lunch in the park and later in the afternoon, drive to Eileen's Trees Inn for dinner and an overnight stay.

Note, Tarangire National Park can be replaced with Lake Manyara National Park.

Day 2

Tarangire National - Ngorongoro Crater

Tarangire National - Ngorongoro Crater

You'll have breakfast at Eileen's Trees Inn. Ngorongoro Crater is one of those places that has to be seen words alone cannot do it justice. After leaving your lodge, you’ll drive down into what was once, many years ago, the fiery heart of a huge volcano. Today this Natural Wonder has a much more peaceful atmosphere as wildebeests, Coke’s hartebeests, Grant’s and Thomson’s gazelles, and common zebra feed contentedly as the ever-present lions and cheetah will allow. The black rhinos here are the only ones less concerned about these predators. The bird life in the crater varies according to the seasons but during your visit, you should see grey-crowned cranes, lappet-faced vultures, black-bellied and kori bustards, Fischer’s lovebird and northern anteater-chat among many others. Your lunch will be served at the designated picnic site in the crater. Later on, you will drive back to Arusha/Kilimanjaro Airport for your flight to Zanzibar.

Main Destination:

Best Time To Visit June to October (Wildlife viewing is best)
