Day 1

Zanzibar to Arusha, then Tarangire National Park

Zanzibar to Arusha, then Tarangire National Park

Depending on where you’ll be staying in Zanzibar, a driver will come pick you up at 5:00 am and drive you to Abeid Amani Karume International Airport. You’ll arrive in Arusha at 9:20 am were a professional guide will be waiting to greet and brief you on the journey you’re about to embark.

After the briefing we'll then drive for 2 hours to Tarangire National Park.

Along the route, we'll see breathtaking views of grassland plains dotted with ancient baobab trees, traditional Maasai huts, and livestock herded by nomadic people.

Tarangire National Park is notable for its old baobab trees, tree climbing pythons, and the biggest concentration of African elephants, lions, leopards, and cheetahs.

Following a midday picnic lunch, you will resume your afternoon game drive before driving to Migombani Campsite for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 2

Tarangire to Ngorongoro Crater

Tarangire to Ngorongoro Crater

Following an early breakfast we'll drive from Migombani Campsite to Ngorongoro Conservation Area. We'll then descend 600 meters into the crater for our last wildlife viewing.

This stunning place will offer you almost every species of wildlife indigenous to East Africa, including the rare black rhino(we'll be the luckiest travelers if we spot one).

Lunch will then be served at the crater's base about lunchtime near a hippo lake and after that. Now we'll have two options to pick from.

We could wait in the park and go for an evening game drive. Or we could take our last photos in the park and head back to Migombani Campsite for a nice evening swimming session & relaxation.

The choice is fully yours to decide dear friends.

Day 3

Lake Manyara National Park, then Zanzibar

Lake Manyara National Park, then Zanzibar

After breakfast, we'll again leave Migombani Campsite and begin our journey to Lake Manyara National Park and get there in just thirty minutes.

Nestled at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment, the Park is stunningly beautiful. Many of Africa's most well-known creatures can be expected to be seen, with tree-climbing lions being a special treat. These self-assured predators sit under acacia branches are surely a marvel to see.

We'll also explore the landscape and the rich flora and fauna inside the park. Marvel at the African elephant, a zebra, or a majestic cheetah in pursuit of prey.

After a midday picnic lunch, we'll take our last photos in the park and head back to Arusha Airport for a flight back to Zanzibar.
