Day 01

Arusha to Tarangire National Park Safari

  • Leave the lodge (accommodation) with your packed lunches and drive to Tarangire, Tanzania's third-largest national park and a sanctuary known for its huge elephant population. Majestic baobab trees are one of the park's most interesting features, dwarfing the animals that feed beneath them. Wildlife mainly concentrates along the Tarangire River, the only permanent water supply in the area. There is a great diversity of wildlife here, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, and up to six thousand elephants. Lunch boxes will be provided at the picnic point.

  • After your game drives, leave the park and continue to the Country Lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 02

Ngorongoro Crater Game Drive and Return to Arusha

  • After breakfast, drive to Ngorongoro and descend to the crater floor for a wonderful game drive with a picnic lunch inside Ngorongoro Crater, described as one of the wonders of the world. It is the world's largest intact volcanic caldera and a natural sanctuary for some of Africa's densest animal populations. It is also one of the few places where the rare black rhino can be observed in its natural setting. As very few animals migrate in and out of the crater because of its 2000 ft. high walls, you can expect to see lions, elephants, zebras, hippos, flamingos, jackals, rhinos, antelopes, many birds, and other species. With a bit of luck, the 'Big Five' can be seen during just one game drive.

  • Ascend the crater walls and drive back to Arusha for dinner and an overnight stay.
