Day 1

Zanzibar / Arusha / Tarangire

Zanzibar / Arusha / Tarangire

Morning flight Zanzibar - Arusha Airport - 8:00 - 9:15. Transfer to Tarangire National Park. You'll depart from Arusha after breakfast for the approximately two hour drive to Tarangire National Park.
Once you've entered Tarangire, you'll begin your game drive across an endless golden Savannah that surrounds the Tarangire River. The river itself runs throughout the year and is a vital source of water for the animals of the region during the dry season. Lined with acacia and Baobab trees.

A picnic lunch with a view of the river is a great way to take it all in, but you'll have to keep on your toes as the local monkey population does its best to separate you from your lunch!
Driving through the park you'll also have the opportunity to see lions, leopards, cape buffalo, and a huge variety of antelopes. After your day's drive is done, you'll retire to your accommodation for the evening.

Main Destination:
Tarangire National Park
Best Time To Visit July to November (Animals come to the Tarangire River)

After breakfast, you'll depart for Ngorongoro Crater.

Home to over 120 species of mammal including the Big Five, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is one of the most sought after safari destinations in the world. It's a particularly good place to see the endangered black rhinoceros enjoying a lonely meal out on the grass plains, as well as a place to see large numbers of hippopotamus enjoying the cool water.

From the comfort of your open-top vehicle, you'll be able to observe and photograph some of Africa's most recognisable faces. The crater is home to a large number of predators including lions, leopards, cheetahs, jackals, and hyenas, as well as a large population of wildebeest, zebras, antelope, cape buffalo, and more. It is truly one of Africa's premier safari destinations.
