Animals concentrate along the Tarangire River, which provides the only permanent water supply in the area. There is a great diversity of wildlife, including lion, leopard, cheetah, and up to 6,000 elephant. Enjoy a half-day game drive in the park and overnight at Fig lodge.

Day 4
Ngorongoro Crater
Ngorongoro Crater
Wake up at 6:30 am for an early breakfast, then drive to Ngorongoro and descend into the crater for a wonderful game drive (with a picnic lunch), a World Heritage Site that holds a permanent population of more than 30,000 animals. You will have lunch at the picnic site at Ngoitoktok (near the hippo pool), and after lunch, you will proceed with game viewing. As only very few animals migrate in and out of the crater with its 2,000-ft-high walls, you can expect to see lions, elephants, birds and other species. The crater is also home to the rare black rhino, which is almost extinct in Tanzania. With a bit of luck, you will see the “Big Five” during the game drive. You will have a late-afternoon transfer back to the airport in Arusha.
