Mkomazi National Park
After breakfast, our guide will meet you and give a short briefing before heading towards Mkomazi National Park for a game drive. Mkomazi National Park has breathtaking beauty exhibiting unique natural treasures and an immense sense of space, adding to meeting our visitors' expectations. Mkomazi National Park is the bridge between the northern circuit and the coastal attractions of the region. It is a fantastic destination for birdwatchers, with more than 450 avian species recorded. Among them are the dry country endemics such as the cobalt-chested vulturine guineafowl, other large ground birds such as ostrich, kori bustard, secretary bird, ground hornbill, and some migratory species including the European roller. The park is also a vital refuge for two highly endangered species, the charismatic black rhino, and the sociable African wild dog. We then have a picnic lunch before continuing the game until late afternoon. Finally, we will drive to our accommodation for our overnight stay.

Day 3
Tarangire Park
Tarangire Park
After breakfast you will be met by our guide/driver, deliver short briefing then head into the Tarangire National Park for a game drive. The park runs along the line of the Tarangire River and is mainly made up of low-lying hills on the Great Rift Valley floor. Its natural vegetation mainly consists of Acacia woodland and giant African Baobab trees, with huge swamp areas in the south. Both the river and the swamps act like a magnet for wild animals, during Tanzania’s dry season. The Tarangire National Park is reputed to contain some of the largest elephant herds in Africa. This African national park is also home to three rare species of animals – the Greater Kudu, the Fringed-eared Oryx, as well as a few Ashy Starlings. We eat lunch at picnic after which we continue with game until late evening, and then drive to the accommodation for overnight.

Day 4
Ngorongoro Crater
Ngorongoro Crater
After early breakfast we will descend over 600 meters into the crater to view wildlife for a half day’s safari tour. Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro National Park 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. After lunch we will start ascending from the crater and return back to Moshi/Arusha or alternatively to Kilimanjaro airport.
