Arangire National Park – Sleep Among the Wildlife

Your private safari begins with pickup in Arusha or at the agreed airport, followed by a drive to Tarangire National Park. Discover a landscape of ancient baobab trees, vast savannahs and impressive elephant herds. Your guide will take you on a game drive in search of giraffes, zebras, antelopes, lions and other wildlife.

In the late afternoon, arrive at Korongo Camp, located inside the national park. As the sun sets and the daytime visitors leave, experience a different side of the African wilderness. Enjoy dinner and listen to the sounds of the bush around you. Spending the night inside Tarangire makes this safari truly special.

Enjoy the beautiful morning atmosphere among ancient baobab trees before leaving the park and continuing towards the spectacular Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

Descend into the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater for an unforgettable game drive. This remarkable natural sanctuary is home to an extraordinary variety of wildlife, including lions, buffaloes, zebras, hippos and, with some luck, the rare black rhino.
