Drive from Arusha to Tarangire National Park
In the morning, you will be picked up from your accommodation by your safari guide and drive towards Tarangire national Park. Tarangire, Tanzania’s third-largest national park is known for its majestic baobab trees that dot the landscape, dwarfing the animals that feed beneath them. The park is named after the Tarangire River which runs through it. This ‘river of warthogs’ is the only source of water for wildlife in the region during the dry season. The park is well known for its elephant families, which can often be seen congregating by the river. You may also see giraffes, bushbucks, and hartebeests during your game drive. They are closely followed by a range of predators, including lions and leopards. Later you will drive to your accommodation for dinner and relaxation.

The Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest inactive, intact and unfilled volcanic caldera. It has a massive floor of about 260 sq. km with a depth of over 2,000 feet. The 6-hour game drive on the crater floor will show you a lot of animal action. Keeping the camera ready is definitely recommended.
