Tarangire National Park is the sixth-largest national park in Tanzania, covering approximately 2,600 square kilometers. It is renowned for its large herds of elephants and diverse landscapes. Although the park is generally drier than the Serengeti, its vegetation remains remarkably lush, featuring expansive grasslands, mixed acacia woodlands, and striking ribbons of riverine forest.

Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha

Early risers are rewarded with breathtaking views of the sunrise over the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater. After a hearty breakfast, you will descend via the adventurous access road into the crater floor. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is regarded as one of the Seven Wonders of Africa and is among the most extraordinary ecosystems on Earth. Formed millions of years ago following the collapse of a massive volcanic eruption, the crater is approximately 610 meters deep and covers an area of about 260 square kilometers.
The Ngorongoro Crater offers some of the finest game viewing in Tanzania. Within a short time, you may encounter wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, elephants, and more than 500 species of birds. With a bit of luck, you may also spot the endangered black rhinoceros moving through the grasslands.
