Tarangire National Park
Your Usoke Explorers Safari guide will collect you from your accommodation after breakfast. You will then drive to Tarangire National Park; your first taster of what Tanzania has to offer on this luxury safari. 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. One of the largest National Parks in Tanzania, it is famous for large herds of elephant families, around 500 species of birds and the fascinating baobab or ‘upside down’ tree. It is also known as the ‘Tree of Life’ due to its mythical powers that some cultures believe it has. Lunch will be at a picnic site inside the Park. After your game drive, you will transit to your luxury accommodation.

Day 3
Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha
Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha
After breakfast, you will drive up into the cooler regions of Ngorongoro Conservation Area. When you first see Ngorongoro Crater, it looks like a forgotten world. Concealed by the steep volcanic walls is a pristine wilderness including sweeping savannah, pockets of acacia woodland, and glistening lakes and swamps. The Crater is famous for both its geological delights and for being a natural reserve that is home to some of the densest large mammal populations in the whole of the African continent. After you descend into the Crater, you quickly find yourself amongst large numbers of wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, and more than 500 bird species. The Crater provides you with the best chance of seeing the endangered black rhino.
Lunch will be at a picnic site on the Crater Floor. After your game drive, you will say a fond farewell to your Guide and will be dropped off at a place of your choosing e.g. Arusha Town, Kilimanjaro Airport or Arusha Airport.
