Tarangire National Park is also a very scenic park with expansive views of baobab-studded grasslands. Tarangire River, a permanent river attracts many animals especially during the dry season. This brings the park to life. The Park owes its name to Tarangire River, which flows through the area. It is characterized by dense vegetation of acacia and mixed woodland, the area around Tarangire River however, is dominated by huge baobab trees and old doom palm trees to a lesser prominence, as well as black cotton grass.

Day 3
Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
After breakfast you will start descending into the plains. Today is one big game drive, wherever you drive, you can encounter animals. And in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area you get a fantastic chance to have a look at how the Maasai live, when passing their “boma’s” (villages) or when watching them herd their cattle in the vast Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
The name Serengeti is derived from the Maasai word Siringiti: endless plains. When entering the Serengeti, it becomes clear quite soon that this is a very fitting name. As far as the eye reaches you find the plains, only interrupted by an occasional tree, kopje (rock formation) or wildlife. During the Great Migration these plains are literally covered in animals, wildebeests and zebras, in search of grazing and water and participating in one of the largest annual movements of mammals on earth. At the end of the afternoon, you will go to Nyani Campsite for dinner and overnight.

Ngorongoro Crater/ Departure
Today you have to rise early as your driver will take you to one of the most special places on this planet. The crater is a non-active volcano, to reach the crater floor you have to make quite a descent. In the Ngorongoro crater the diversity in animals and flora is immense. All the animals of the “Big Five” (elephant, Black Rhino, Buffaloes, Leopard and the Lion) can be found in the crater. In Lake Magadi, Flamingos look for their food while Hippos cool down in the sweet water pools after their grazing outing at night. In the Lerai Forest Elephant with giant tusks pull leaves and branches from the trees while on the plains Wildebeests, Zebras and Antelopes are grazing. Lions often look for the shade, sometimes even the shade of a car. After making a day in the crater and overwhelming experience a driver will transfer you to Kilimanjaro/Arusha Airport or at accommodation of your choice in Arusha. Your holiday has come to an end.
