Transfer by air Dar es salaam City to Tarangire NP

At 6:00 am (pick-up time depends on your hotel's location in Dar es Salaam), our driver will take you to the airport for an 8:00 am flight from Dar to Arusha. Upon arrival at 9:15 am, our driver-guide will drive you to Tarangire National Park, about 1.5 hours from Arusha, while sharing insights about the history and culture of Arusha and the Maasai people.

Tarangire National Park is renowned for its biodiversity, featuring large elephant herds and a diverse range of landscapes, from seasonal swamps to savannahs, with the Tarangire River winding its way through the parklands. You may have the experience of seeing a lion stalking its prey or leopards watching whilst relaxing in the trees above. Once the game drive is complete, you will return to your lodge for relaxation, dinner, and an overnight stay.

In the afternoon, you will enjoy your packed lunch inside the park. The game drive ends at 4:00 pm. You'll be driven to the lodge near Karatu for dinner and to relaxation.

Day 2

Ngorongoro Crater Game Drive (Home of Black Rhino)

Ngorongoro Crater Game Drive (Home of Black Rhino)

Get up early to have breakfast before heading out for a game drive and transfer to the Ngorongoro Crater. The drive will take around 2 hours, but along the way, we'll make some stops to spot animals.

The main attraction of Ngorongoro is its deep, volcanic crater, the world's largest unflooded and unbroken caldera. It's about 20 kilometers across, 600 meters deep, and covers 300 square kilometers - an awe-inspiring natural wonder. We'll explore Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, famous for its black rhinos, flamingos, hippos, and other waterbirds.

You'll enjoy a full-day game drive in the crater. In the evening, we'll drive back to the lodge for dinner and to spend the night. Today, we recommend leaving early so you can take advantage of the lodge facilities, including the swimming pool and more.

The game drive will end at 4:00 pm. We will then drive to your lodge, which is 45 minutes from the Ngorongoro gate.

Best Time To Visit June to October (Wildlife viewing is best)
