Arusha to Tarangire National Park

After breakfast, your tour begins! The first stop is Arusha town for any last-minute shopping before going on safari. We then head to Tarangire National Park for a game drive with a picnic lunch in the park.

Tarangire is well known for its huge elephant population and baobab trees. It forms the center of an annual migratory cycle that includes up to 3,000 elephants, 250,000 wildebeest, and 30,000 zebra, lion, leopard, cheetah, giraffe, ostrich, and warthog on the acacia savannah. Our safari guide will drive everywhere with the safari Jeep to find the animals. He will give you a lot of information about the park. Drive to the Tarangire River to look for animals who come to the river to drink. It is also a good spot to see a hunt in action as the predators look for food here. Later in the evening, your safari guide will drive you to your accommodation.

Day 3

Tarangire to Ngorongoro Crater

Tarangire to Ngorongoro Crater

After breakfast, your safari guide will drive you directly to the Ngorongoro Crater. You will descend over 600 meters into the crater to view wildlife. Supported by a year-round supply of water and fodder, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is home to a wide variety of animals including herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, antelope, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephant. Another big drawcard for this scenic national park is its dense population of predators which includes lion, hyena, jackal, cheetah, and the ever-elusive leopard (which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot).

We will also visit Lake Magadi, a large and shallow alkaline lake in the southwest corner which is one of the main features of the crater. Large numbers of flamingos, hippos, and waterbirds can usually be seen here. Your safari guide will take you on a short walking safari close to the hippo pool. There are washrooms available here. Later in the afternoon, return to your hotel.
