Arusha to Tarangire National Park

Today, you will be picked up from the hotel by your driver guide and driven to Tarangire National Park. Tarangire National Park is almost 3,000 square kilometres (1,160 square miles) and is best known for its vast numbers of elephants and baobab trees. The park's name comes from the Tarangire River, which crosses through the park. Tarangire is especially spectacular during the dry season (June to November) as wildlife concentrations rival that of the Serengeti (since enormous populations of elephants and other animals are drawn to the Tarangire River as their only water source). With its varied habitats and permanent water, Tarangire is home to over 2000 elephants and 500 bird species.

Overnight at Octagon Lodge. Lunch, dinner and drinking water will be provided every day.

Tarangire National Park to Ngorongoro Crater

After breakfast, drive to Ngorongoro and descend into the crater for a game tour. Later on in the day, you will drive back to Arusha for a drop-off point that will be advised.

Often called the eighth Wonder of the World, the Ngorongoro Crater is the largest intact crater in the world. The Ngorongoro volcano erupted about 2 million years ago, and its walls collapsed, forming a crater. The volcano floor sank to create a natural enclosure with 600m tall walls. Now, over 19 kilometres wide, Ngorongoro Crater is filled with great areas of acacia forest, hippo-filled swamps, and open grasslands. These different habitats contain over 30,000 animals, including elephants, warthogs, flamingoes, magnificent birdlife, the rare black rhinoceros and all the predatory cats. The Masai can also be seen herding their cattle alongside the buffalo and wildebeest.

Lunch and drinking water will be provided.
