Day 2
Arusha - Tarangire National Park
Arusha - Tarangire National Park
Early in the morning, after breakfast, we depart to Tarangire National Park. 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. In some places, the vegetation is quite dense, including elephant grass, acacia woodlands, and lush groundwater forests.
The park is well known for its elephant families, which can often be seen congregating by the river. You may also see giraffe, bushbuck and hartebeest. These animals are closely followed by a range of predators, including lions and leopards. There are more breeding species of birds found in Tarangire National Park than anywhere else on the planet!

Day 3
Karatu - Ngorongoro Crater
Karatu - Ngorongoro Crater
Early in the morning, after breakfast, we depart to Ngorongoro Crater. When you first see the crater, it looks like a forgotten world. Concealed by the steep volcanic walls is a pristine wilderness including sweeping savannah, pockets of acacia woodland and glistening lakes and swamps. The crater was created when a large volcano exploded and collapsed 2 to 3 million years ago. It is famous for both its geological delights and for being a natural reserve which is home to some of the densest large mammal populations on the African continent.
The drive into the crater is an adventure in itself. When you reach the crater floor, you quickly find yourself amongst large numbers of wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, and more than 500 bird species. The crater provides you with the best chance of seeing the endangered black rhino, which can sometimes be spotted in the open grasslands.

Karatu - Lake Manyara
Karatu - Lake Manyara
After breakfast, you will drive to Lake Manyara National Park. This is a relatively small but diverse park, 120km west of Arusha. The park’s namesake is a shallow salt lake. It covers a large area of the park, flooding and drying with the seasons and is home to thousands of flamingos and over 500 other bird species. On your exploration of the park, you will see monkey, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, elephant and, with some luck, lions lounging in the trees. The park is known for its diverse landscapes, not only open grassy plains but also primate-filled woodlands and baobab-dotted cliffs.
