Non–game viewing time : 3 – 4 hours
After breakfast, the tour departs. The first stop is Arusha Town for any last-minute purchases before we head off on safari. Afterwards, we'll head towards the Tarangire National Park for a game drive with a picnic lunch at the park. Tarangire is well known for its huge elephant population and baobab trees. It forms the centre of an annual migratory cycle that includes up to 3000 elephants, 25,000 wildebeests and 30,000 zebras. Dinner and your overnight stay are at the campsite.

Day 2
Ngorongoro Crater - Arusha
Ngorongoro Crater - Arusha
After an early breakfast, you will descend over 600 meters into the crater to view wildlife. Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo and giant African elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque national park is its dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot. We will visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, which is one of the main features of the crater. A large number of flamingos, hippos and other water birds can usually be seen here. Late in the afternoon, transfer to Arusha.
