Tarangire National Park

In the morning, you will be collected from your accommodation in Arusha by your personal safari guide. The drive to Tarangire is on a good tarmac road across the gently rolling Maasai plains with scattered acacia trees. En route, you will pass many Maasai in their colorful dresses walking on the roadside, riding bicycles, herding their cattle, and driving donkey carts.

Tarangire National Park is well known for its large elephant herds. From the open roof of the vehicle, you will experience the seasonal swamps, savannah, and Tarangire River. You will go in search of many animals including zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, elephant, and giraffe. It's possible that you will catch a glimpse of a lion stalking its prey or leopards watching and relaxing in the trees above. After an extensive game drive, having experienced the various sights and sounds of the wilderness, you will leave the park and head to our partner lodge where you will enjoy dinner and an overnight stay.

Ngorongoro Crater

After an early breakfast, you will drive through the Rift Valley to the cooler regions of the Ngorongoro Highlands. The Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest volcanic caldera, is almost 20km wide and approximately 610m deep. It is known for its large variety of wildlife including the “Big Five” (lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard). It should be recognised as one of the world's wonders. It is truly magnificent.

In addition to the Big Five, the various springs attract animals such as wildebeest, gazelle, reedbuck, and more than 500 bird species. At a picnic site, you will have lunch before enjoying some more game viewing in the crater. You will leave the crater in the afternoon and drive up the steep road out of the crater for your return to the hotel.

It covers a large area of the park, flooding and drying with the seasons, and is home to thousands of flamingos and over 500 other bird species. On your exploration of the park, you will see monkeys, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, buffalos, elephants, and with some luck, lions lounging in the trees.
