Arusha to Tarangire National Park

Our safari guide will pick you up from the hotel and drive to Tarangire National Park for a game drive to spot wildlife, while carrying lunch boxes. Once we finish the game drive, we will transfer you to the lodge, where we will stop for relaxation, dinner and an overnight stay.

The park is named after the Tarangire River, which runs through it. This "river of warthogs" is the only source of water for wildlife in the region during the Dry season. The park is well known for its elephant families, which can often be seen congregating by the river. You may also see giraffe, bushbuck, and hartebeest. These animals are closely followed by a range of predators, including lions and leopards. Lunch will be at a picnic site inside the park.

Main Destination:

Karatu to Ngorongoro Crater

Get up early in the morning and enjoy breakfast. Thereafter, our safari guide will pick you up from the lodge and depart for Ngorongoro for a game drive inside the Ngorongoro Crater for wildlife sightings, while carrying lunch boxes. Once the game drive is done, you will be transferred back to the lodge, where we stop for relaxation, dinner and overnight stay.

This park appears to be a lost world when you first arrive at Ngorongoro Crater. The journey into the crater is an adventure in and of itself, and once you arrive at the bottom, you'll soon be surrounded by over 500 species of birds, zebras, gazelles, and wildebeest. The crater provides you with the best chance of seeing the endangered black rhino, which can sometimes be spotted in the open grasslands.

Laske Manyara National Park - Arusha for Overnight

Get up early in the morning and enjoy breakfast. Thereafter, our safari guide will pick you up from the lodge and depart for Lake Manyara National Park for game drives to spot wildlife, while carrying lunch boxes. Once we finish the game drive, we will transfer you to Arusha for an overnight stay.

Lake Manyara National Park is a tiny yet varied park. The scale of everything you see here is different. It is both majestic (the Great Rift Escarpment towering over the western limit of Lake Manyara) and compact (this is one of Africa's narrowest parks). A tiny Salt Lake is the park's namesake. Thousands of wading birds, including flamingos and more than 500 other bird species, call it home. It spans a sizable portion of the park and floods and dries with the seasons. In addition to keeping an eye out for the tree-climbing lions, you might spot baboons and elephants in the park's dense evergreen forest.
