Day 1
Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park
After breakfast depart for Tarangire National Park. Full day game drive in Tarangire National Park. Tarangire has a diverse landscape, with nine vegetation zones. Ancient Baobab trees (the largest trees in Africa) dot the landscape dwarfing the animals that feed beneath them. The Tarangire River, that meanders through the park attracts an abundance of wildlife, from elephants, lions, leopards, buffalos, zebras, giraffes, antelopes to a variety of colourful birds. The park is very famous for having the greatest elephant population in Tanzania, and during a safari where you will have the chance of quietly observing many families of elephants interacting. With a stop for a picnic lunch in an observatory inside the park where you will be able to view animals drinking water in the river (and many times lions attacking a thirsty zebra or wildebeest), continue game viewing and finally return to the campsite for dinner.
Possibility for a night game drive in Tarangire.

Lake Manyara National Park
Depart after breakfast and drive across the Great Rift Valley to Lake Manyara National Park for a full day game drive. Although only 205 sq. miles in size this enchanting park is noted for its beauty and incredibly lush acacia forest of giant fig and mahogany trees, which are home to troops of baboons and blue monkeys. The park is also home to a large number of buffalos, giraffes, elephants, impalas and a Hippo lake, where large numbers of hippos usually gather. Well known for its birds (over 400 different species), Lake Manyara is one of the few places where you'll be able to see the Ground Hornbill and the Crested Eagle. This park has become famous for the climbing lions and the flamingos in the lake shore. The landscapes of this park are absolutely stunning, very different from the Serengeti for example. In the afternoon, return to camp for dinner.

Day 3
Ngorongoro
Ngorongoro
Following an early morning meal, we'll embark on a brief journey to explore the Ngorongoro Crater, renowned as the eighth natural wonder of the world. Enclosed by towering 2,000-foot-high walls, the crater boasts a vast floor spanning 102 square miles, resembling a modern-day Noah's Ark. It is home to an extensive array of wildlife indigenous to East Africa, including the elusive black rhino. Remarkably, the crater hosts the highest concentration of wildlife on the globe. The colossal bull elephants dwelling here are distinguished by their exceptionally large tusks, a result of the nutrient-rich volcanic soil and grasses. Descend to the crater floor for a day filled with wildlife observation in this extraordinary locale. Enjoy a picnic lunch by the hippo lake, followed by additional wildlife encounters in the afternoon, before ascending the steep road out of the crater. In the evening, transfer to Lake Eyasi.
