After enjoying a delicious breakfast, at 0700am we’ll begin our journey to Tarangire National Park, about a 1.5-hour drive. After permit check-in, we’ll start our wildlife exploration.

Tarangire is known for its iconic baobab trees and large elephant herds, but there's much more to see: wildebeest, giraffes, hippos, buffaloes, zebras, baboons, vervet monkeys, and a rugged mix of hills, rivers, swamps, and savannah. It's also a stronghold for lions, with chances to spot leopards and cheetahs.

In the afternoon, we’ll enjoy a hot lunch at a scenic picnic site, followed by more game viewing until late afternoon. We’ll then head to our accommodation for dinner and a relaxing overnight stay.

Day 3

Game drive in Ngorongoro Crater

Game drive in Ngorongoro Crater

Today, we recommend waking up early for breakfast and departing at 6:30 AM for Ngorongoro Crater.

Why an early game drive? Wildlife is most active in the morning, and the views are stunning. If you're lucky, you’ll catch a beautiful sunrise from the crater rim.

You’ll spend the day exploring this incredible place. After lunch, we’ll continue the game drive until late afternoon before returning to your accommodation for dinner and overnight rest.

You’ll never forget your first glimpse of the Ngorongoro Crater from above gazing into this vast volcanic caldera feels like discovering a hidden world. The descent to the crater floor is equally thrilling, bringing you into a realm ruled by nature, where no one may stay overnight. Expect to see Black Rhinos, lions, hyenas, elephants, flamingos, black rhinos, and more. When it’s time to leave, you’ll find yourself looking back, trying to hold onto every moment.

Game drive in Lake Manyara National Park / Flight from Arusha airport to Zanzibar

We recommend departing at 8:00 AM for a game drive. Lake Manyara is just a 30-minute drive from your lodge, and since it’s one of the smaller parks, we also suggest taking some time to enjoy the lodge’s facilities, such as the swimming pool.

Lake Manyara is one of Tanzania’s more unique parks. You’ll likely see the elephants it’s famous for, and if you’re lucky, you might even spot one of its well-known tree-climbing lions. The park also features a beautiful lake filled with wading birds, numerous olive baboons, and dense forests that give the thrilling feeling that wildlife could appear at any moment.

After lunch, we will drive to Arusha Airport for your flight departing at 4:30 PM and arriving at Zanzibar Airport at 5:30 PM. Upon arrival, our driver will meet you for your transfer to the hotel.
