From Arusha to Tarangire national park

After breakfast, you'll be picked up from your accommodation in Arusha and drive to Tarangire National Park, located in the Manyara region. The park is named after the Tarangire River, which flows through it.

As the 6th largest national park in Tanzania, covering 2,600 square kilometers, Tarangire is renowned for its large elephant herds. Although the park tends to be drier than the Serengeti, its landscape is lush with diverse vegetation, including expansive grasslands, mixed acacia woodlands, and vibrant stretches of aquatic forest. Don’t miss the iconic baobab trees, which can live for up to 600 years and store between 300 to 900 liters of water.

Serengeti National Park

After an early breakfast, you will begin your journey to Serengeti National Park.

The name "Serengeti" comes from the Maasai language, meaning "endless plain," which is fitting given the park's vast and varied landscapes. As the largest national park in Tanzania, Serengeti boasts a range of habitats, including grassy plains, swamps, lakes, savannahs, and mountains. This park is renowned for the great wildebeest and zebra migration, and depending on the time of year, you may witness thousands of animals migrating in search of food and water.

Following a thorough game drive, you will head to Misako luxury camps & lodges, where you can relax, enjoy a delicious dinner, and stay overnight.

Ngorongoro crater to Arusha

Early risers are treated to breathtaking views of the sun rising over the crater's edge. After a hearty breakfast, you’ll embark on a thrilling drive down the rugged track into the crater. This UNESCO World Heritage Site, one of Africa's Seven Wonders, is home to one of the most extraordinary ecosystems on Earth. Formed millions of years ago by a volcanic eruption, the crater is 610 meters deep and spans about 260 square kilometers. With a dense wildlife population of around 25,000 animals, it offers exceptional game viewing. Within moments, you may spot wildebeests, zebras, gazelles, elephants, and over 500 species of birds. If you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of the endangered black rhino hidden in the tall grasses.

After lunch, you'll ascend the crater’s steep walls and head back to Arusha, where you'll be dropped off at the airport or your accommodation.
