Itinerary

1. Day 1 - Arusha - Tarangire National Park

   • In the morning, start your safari with a drive to the Tarangire National Park with packed lunch with your Tanzanian guide. The park, roughly the size of Luxemburg, covers an area of approximately 2,600 km². The landscape of savannah, seasonal swamps, and giant baobab trees is home to Masai giraffes, buffaloes, hartebeest, eland, fringe-eared oryx, the weird-looking long-necked gerenuk and over 550 species of birds. But it is the elephants Tarangire is famous for, and the park, where herds of up to 300 animals roam, is probably one of the best places in East Africa to see them and get close to these giant creatures.

   • After an extensive game drive, then, drive to Panorama Camp Site for dinner and overnight.

2. Day 2 - Ngorongoro Crater - Arusha

   • After breakfast, drive to Ngorongoro and descend into the crater with packed lunch. Inside the world’s largest caldera, you will see various wildlife ranging from black rhinos, Grant’s and Thomson’s gazelles, lions and leopards to elephants and mountain reedbucks in the forests on the slopes. You might also see buffaloes, spotted hyenas, rare wild dogs, and some of the area's more than 500 bird species.
   • After an intensive game drive and a picnic lunch, leave the caldera in the afternoon and travel back to Arusha, where you will arrive in the early evening.
