Tarangire is renowned for its large elephant herds and tree-climbing lions, as well as wildebeests, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, and hippos. The park is also home to unique baobab trees, some over 8,000 years old. Lunch will be enjoyed at the Tarangire River picnic site, with expansive views over the plains.

Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha
Early in the morning, after breakfast around 6:30 am, you'll leave the lodge and descend the Crater. You'll enjoy an incredible 5- to 6-hour game drive inside this UNESCO World Heritage site. As you descend the crater, be prepared to be amazed by its breathtaking landscape and beauty. Ngorongoro is home to an extraordinary array of wildlife, including the legendary Big Five animals (lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards, and rhinos). With our experienced guide, you will set out to witness these animals, especially the rare and difficult-to-find black rhinos. In the afternoon, you will pause for lunch at the Hippo Pool picnic site, inhabited by a bloat of hippos and offering panoramic views of the crater. After lunch, you will explore the park. Later, you'll ascend the crater and return to your overnight accommodation in Arusha, filled with memories of the extraordinary safari experience.

Day 3
Materuni Waterfall
Materuni Waterfall
We wake up early and have breakfast. After breakfast begin our journey to the Materuni Waterfalls. This tour offers a distinctly different experience from the safari trip. The hike to the waterfall is a medium-level walk through the plantations, local villagers’ houses, and local pubs. The hiking itself is very refreshing, especially after long hours spent in the car during the safari. Thereafter, the coffee tour provides you with rare and delightful moments with the villagers as they teach you to make local organic coffee using local tools, highly motivational local songs, and even dancing! After that, you will have a freshly made cup of organic coffee with less caffeine and an incredible taste. Lastly, we will have a variety of freshly made local food by the Chagga women before departing for the Airport or accommodation.
