Itinerary

1. Day 1: Arusha to Tarangire National Park

   • Leave the lodge (accommodation) with your packed lunches and drive towards Tarangire, Tanzania's third-largest national park and sanctuary known for its huge elephant population. Now, majestic baobab trees are an interesting feature of this park, dwarfing the animals that feed beneath them. Animals mainly concentrate along the Tarangire River, which is 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 to you at the picnic point.

   • After game drives here, leave the park and continue with a drive to the Country Lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

2. Day 2: Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha

   • After breakfast, you will drive to Ngorongoro and descend into the crater floor area for a wonderful game drive (with a picnic lunch) inside the 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 their natural setting. As very few animals migrate in and out of the crater with 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 one game drive only. 

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