Day 1
Zanzibar to Tarangire National Park
Zanzibar to Tarangire National Park
Today you will have the morning flight from Zanzibar leaving at 8:00 a.m. to Arusha Airport. On arrival in Arusha, at 9:00 am, you will be picked up by your driver guide and drive to Tarangire National Park. Enjoy the wildlife! Your overnight stay will be at the lodge.
Lunch and dinner are provided. Drinking water will also be provided every day per person.
Tarangire National Park is almost 3,000 km in size and is probably best known for its huge numbers of elephants and baobab trees. The name of the park comes from the Tarangire River which crosses through the park. Tarangire is especially spectacular during the dry season (June - November) as wildlife concentrations rival that of the Serengeti (since enormous populations of elephants and other animals are drawn to the Tarangire River as their only source of water). With its varied habitats and permanent water in the Tarangire River, the park is home to over 2000 elephants and 500 bird species.

Day 2
The Great Ngorongoro Crater
The Great Ngorongoro Crater
After breakfast, you will descend into the crater for a crater game tour. You will have breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Drinking water will also be provided every day per person.
Often called the 8th Natural Wonder of the World, the Ngorongoro Crater is the largest intact crater in the world. About 2 million years ago, the Ngorongoro volcano erupted, and its walls collapsed. The volcano floor sank to create a natural enclosure with its 600m tall walls. Now over 19km wide, Ngorongoro Crater is filled with great areas of acacia forest, hippo-filled swamps, and open grasslands. These different habitats contain over 30,000 animals, including elephants, warthogs, flamingoes, magnificent birdlife, the rare black rhinoceros, and all predatory cats. The Maasai can also be seen grazing their cattle alongside the buffalos and wildebeests.

Lake Manyara National Park
Today after breakfast, you will be picked up by your safari guide and driven to Lake Manyara National Park for a game drive. Later on, you will drive back to Arusha and proceed to Kilimanjaro or Arusha Airport for your flight to Zanzibar.
Lake Manyara is a beautiful little park that is famous for its tree-climbing lions, elephants, and large troops of baboons. The park is home to an amazing variety of birds and animals considering its small size. A short visit to this serene park will greatly diversify your safari experience as the lush green jungle habitat is in stark contrast to the other parks you will visit during your safari.
