Arusha to Tarangire National Park

In the morning, our personal safari guide will collect you from your lodge in Arusha. We’ll embark on a scenic journey to Tarangire National Park along a well-paved road, crossing the gently rolling Maasai plains dotted with acacia trees. As we travel, you’ll see many Maasai in their colorful attire walking by the roadside, riding bicycles, herding cattle, and driving donkey carts.

Tarangire National Park is famous for its large elephant herds and hosts a rich variety of wildlife. From the open roof of our state-of-the-art safari jeep, you’ll enjoy views of seasonal swamps, savanna, and the vital Tarangire River. Keep an eye out for a multitude of animals, including zebras, wildebeests, buffalo, elephants, and giraffes. There’s a chance we might even spot lions stalking their prey or leopards relaxing in the trees above. After a thrilling day of game drives, we’ll head directly to our campsite for dinner and an overnight stay.

Ngorongoro Crater

Rise and shine! We’ll have an early departure to the lush highlands of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Upon reaching the crater rim, you’ll descend a steep track into the 600-meter deep caldera, where a diverse array of animals and birds awaits you. This caldera, formed by a collapsed volcano, is home to over 25,000 mammals, including the “Big Five” (lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard), as well as more than 500 bird species.

After an exciting game drive and a picnic lunch in the crater, we’ll make our way back to Arusha, arriving in the early evening.
