Zanzibar to Arusha and Tarangire National Park
We will collect you from your Stone Town hotel in time to board the 8:00am flight to Arusha. Arrive in Arusha at 9:15am and drive along a scenic route to Tarangire National Park. The park's beauty offers unparalleled game viewing, with elephants abound in the dry season.
Ancient baobab and thorn trees stipped from their bark are plentiful on the grasslands. Breathtaking views of the Maasai Steppe and mountains in the south make a stopover at Tarangire a memorable experience. You can see herds of elephants, zebras, buffalo, and oryxes who venture from Masai Mara to Tarangire in search of water. A few lions also prowl around, looking for unexpecting prey around the jungle. Inside the park, you will find an abundance of birds.
We will drive you to Fig Tree Lodge and Camp in the late afternoon for dinner and your overnight stay.

Tarangire National Park to Lake Manyara National Park
After breakfast, drive to Lake Manyara National Park. The park is well known for its abundance of bird species. There are also different tree varieties, including sausage trees, umbrella trees, baobabs, and palms. Lake Manyara National Park hosts over 400 species of birds, such as pink flamingos, yellow-billed storks, and herons. In addition, the park is home to plenty of mammals, including zebras, lions, baboons, impalas, wildebeest, hippos, elephants, and buffaloes.
Manyara is the perfect place to rest, and the park's tranquillity guarantees you a relaxing atmosphere. Manyara comes from the Maasai word "emanyara," meaning "plants used to create hedges." Two-thirds of the park is an alkaline lake, so most of the park is submerged in alkaline water. Manyara is heaven for you if you are adventurous, thrill-seeking, and nature-loving. Your dinner and overnight stay are at the Fig Tree Lodge & Camp.

Lake Manyara National Park to Ngorongoro and Arusha
After an early morning cup of coffee, prepare to depart on the day's game drive. Lake Manyara National Park and Ngorongoro Conservation Area are home to thousands of animals, including large numbers of wildebeest, zebras, eland, gazelles, hyenas, elephants, lions, rhinos, and many, many more!
Over 25 000 wild creatures call the Ngorongoro Crater home. So avid birders are in for a treat. Within this caldera, you will find ostriches, kori bustards, and secretary birds among the 500 recorded bird species. Visit from November to April and witness the migratory birds residing here.
Indigenous tribes live in this conservation area where the local Maasai let their livestock graze in harmony with the nearby herds of buffalo and wildebeest.
After this 3-day safari, we will drive you back to the airport for your flight to Zanzibar.
