Arrival at Kilimanjaro (JRO) in Tanzania

It's time to begin your safari. Welcome to Tanzania! After we greet you and provide you with the trip briefing, we'll take you out to help you discover why so many people think Tanzania is the best place in Africa to go on safari. We will pick you up from Kilimanjaro Airport and drive you to the Hotel booked for you in Arusha.

Enjoy the comfort of big-city accommodation when you stay at Green Mountain Hotel. The en-suite rooms are large and filled with light, there's an onsite swimming pool and restaurant, and the service is good. Best of all, Arusha's attractions are not far away, making it a good base for seeing the city.

Arusha to Tarangire National Park

We think you’ll be impressed with Tarangire National Park. Most visitors love the distinct shapes of the baobab trees silhouetted against the sky that make this place feel like a fairy-tale African landscape. Or visitors remember the elephants that roam in family bands everywhere throughout the park. If you’re lucky, you’ll also encounter the big cats – lions especially, but also cheetahs and leopards – that are always a possibility here. And there’s a fair degree of certainty that you will tick wildebeest, giraffe, hippo, buffalo and zebra off your wildlife-viewing list.

Farm of Dreams Lodge has excellent rooms with wood-and-terracotta decor, mosquito nets and en suite bathrooms. The rooms inhabit manicured grounds with palm trees, and you can relax in the swimming pool, restaurant and bar. The whole property is down a side road away from the main road, and is lovely and quiet.

Best Time To Visit July to November (Animals come to the Tarangire River)

Ngorongoro Crater

Your first sight of Ngorongoro Crater is likely not one you’ll easily forget. As seen from the crater rim, this natural bowl, both vast and intimate, is one of Africa’s most beautiful natural features, stretching 19 green kilometers (12 miles) from one side to the other. Down in the crater itself, you’ll explore an astonishingly rich, self-contained ecosystem that is protected by high crater walls. Here, lions and hyenas hunt wildebeest and Grant’s gazelle within sight of elephants and black rhinos. Your day spent here will reveal a surprising variety of habitats, from the Lereal Forest and salty Lake Magadi to the plains that rise and fall gently all across the valley floor.
