Day 01

From Moshi to Tarangire National Park Safari

  • In the morning, we will pick you up from your hotel in Moshi and drive to Tarangire National Park, which is known for its huge baobab trees and large herds of elephants. Its sparse vegetation makes it a beautiful and special location, where up to 300 elephants can be found searching for underground streams in the dry riverbeds. Migratory wildebeest, zebra, and buffalo can also be seen crowding the shrinking lagoons. Here, you will enjoy an afternoon game drive with a picnic lunch.
  • In the late afternoon, you will drive to the outskirts of the rim of Ngorongoro Crater for a hot shower, dinner, and an overnight stay.

Overnight stay at the Heaven Nature Campsite.
