Arusha to Tarangire National Park
Arusha to Tarangire National Park
Early in the morning, your driver-guide will pick you up at your hotel and drive for 2 hours to the gates of Tarangire National Park, where you will do a full-day game drive with a packed lunch. You will stop for lunch at a picnic site, then continue game driving.
Tarangire National Park is almost 2,800 sq km and is probably best known for its vast numbers of elephants and baobab trees. The park's name comes from the Tarangire River which crosses through the park. Tarangire is especially spectacular during the Dry season (June – November) as wildlife concentrations rival the Serengeti's. Enormous populations of elephants and other animals are drawn to the Tarangire River as their only water source. With its varied habitats and permanent water in the Tarangire River, the park is home to over 2,000 elephants and 500 bird species.
Later in the evening, exit the park and drive to Heart and Soul Lodge for dinner and overnight.

Ngorongoro Crater
Ngorongoro Crater
We will pick you up from the lodge after breakfast, drive you to Ngorongoro Crater, and descend into the crater with picnic lunch boxes for a game drive. Often called the Eighth Natural Wonder of the World, the Ngorongoro Crater is the largest intact crater in the world. The Ngorongoro volcano erupted about 2 million years ago, and its walls collapsed. The volcano floor sank to create a natural enclosure with 600m-tall walls. Now, over 19km wide, the Ngorongoro Crater is filled with great areas of acacia forest, hippo-filled swamps, and open grasslands. These habitats contain over 30,000 animals including elephants, warthogs, flamingos, magnificent birdlife, the rare black rhinoceros, and all predatory cats.
The Maasai can also be seen grazing their cattle alongside the buffalo and wildebeest. Afterward, you will exit the park and drive to Heart and Soul Lodge for dinner and overnight.
