Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park
After an early breakfast in your comfort lodge, you will drive to Tarangire National Park with a packed lunch for a game drive. This lovely park has the largest concentrations of elephants in the world and the highest number of breeding bird species. Especially during the Dry season, Tarangire National Park is packed with wildlife; big cats like lions, cheetahs, and leopards, as well as the seldom-seen kudu, oryx, and gerenuk.
The Tarangire River draws enormous herds of wildebeests, zebras, gazelles, and predators who prey upon them. After the game drive, you will head to your accommodation for relaxation, where a delicious dinner and an overnight stay await you.

Day 3
Ngorongoro crater
Ngorongoro crater
After breakfast, we hit the road to experience the wonderful Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Seven Wonders of Africa. More precisely termed a caldera, this is the best place for game viewing in Tanzania. An enclosed ecosystem, the caldera is home to some 25,000 large mammals.
Descending the bumpy, winding track toward the caldera floor, we note our passage through several different climactic zones until, 600m down, we roam out onto the broad expanse. We can expect to see buffalo, wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, elephant, reedbuck, and Thomson's gazelle. We may spot predator friends like lion and cheetah lounging in the grass or in action, and some of the more than 500 bird species that inhabit this area. With a little bit of luck, we might catch a glimpse of the endangered black rhino through the grass.
After our extensive game drive within the crater, we return to our carefully selected quality lodge in Karatu.

Day 4
Lake Manyara National Park
Lake Manyara National Park
After breakfast, we hit the road to Lake Manyara National Park. Manyara, known for its namesake lake, which covers some 70 percent of the park's area, is famed for its tree-climbing lions. Our game drive takes us to the lakeshore, where, while viewing the thousands of feeding flamingos, we can hope to spot monkeys, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, buffalos, elephants, and, with some luck, lions lounging in the trees.
The park is known for its diverse landscapes, including open grassy plains, primate-filled woodlands, and baobab-dotted cliffs. Animals gather at the river, and giraffe, bushbuck, and hartebeest are often seen. The park is also home to buffalo, zebra, and wildebeest, all of whom are closely attended by a range of predators like Simba, the lion king, and his cousin, the leopard.
After lunch and an extensive game drive, we head back to Kilimanjaro International Airport as we end our safari adventure.
