Day 1

Arusha - Tarangire National Park

Arusha - Tarangire National Park

Your driver/guide will pick you up from Kilimanjaro International Airport or from your hotel in Arusha and we’ll proceed directly to Tarangire National Park for a game drive.

This park is well known for its big groups of elephants and the huge amount of giant baobab trees that can live for hundreds of years. In the dry season, it’s possible to see groups of up to 250 elephants here! They can weigh up to six thousand kilos and have a special technique to draw water from the baobab trees. Your private guide can tell you everything about this.

Tarangire has many more wild animals, which you can spot most easily at the Tarangire River or Lake Barunge – the main water sources of the park – when they come to relieve their thirst.

Proceed to the accommodation at sunset.

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

Day 2

Explore Ngorogoro Crater

Explore Ngorogoro Crater

Today, after your delicious breakfast, we will visit one of the seven African wonders – the Ngorongoro Crater, created when a huge volcano erupted two million years ago with a game drive along the way.

The fertile lava has created a unique ecosystem; the crater has the highest concentration of animals anywhere in Africa! While descending from the rim onto the crater floor you will be surrounded by the most beautiful animals. When below, the views are astounding – you won’t know where to look!

The Ngorongoro Crater is home to many lion families, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeests, and many more species. And nowhere else offers a chance as good as this to spot the rare black rhino. So if you want to see the big five – this is the place to be!

Proceed to the accommodation at sunset.

Best Time To Visit June to October (Wildlife viewing is best)
