4-Day Tanzania Safari with Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Eyasi

• After breakfast, connect with your tour guide in Arusha/Kilimanjaro Airport and depart for Tarangire National Park. Tarangire has a diverse landscape with nine scenic vegetation zones. It is also home to the largest baobab trees in Africa. The Tarangire River, which passes through the park, attracts abundant wildlife, from elephants, lions, leopards, buffalos, zebras, giraffes, and antelopes to various colourful birds. The park is especially famous for having the greatest elephant population in Tanzania.
• Stop for a picnic lunch at an observatory inside the park, where you will be able to observe animals drinking water in the river, and often even lions attacking a thirsty zebra or wildebeest.

Return to the campsite for dinner and overnight.

• Pick up from your campsite and embark on a beautiful journey across the Great Rift Valley to Lake Manyara National Park for an exciting full-day game drive. The park has marvellous scenery and is famous for its lush acacia forest, giant figs, mahogany trees, and a growing population of baboons and blue monkeys.
• This park has a large number of giraffes, elephants, impalas, buffaloes, and hippos.
• Admire the tree-climbing lions, flamingos along the lakeshore, the Ground Hornbill, and the Crested Eagle. The game drives along the lake provide attractive photo opportunities of giraffes and buffaloes in the foreground, with the lake and its flamingos in the background.
• In the evening, return to the campsite for dinner and overnight.

• After an early breakfast, drive a short distance to the 8th natural wonder of the world - the Ngorongoro Crater. With walls 2,000 ft high and a crater floor that spreads across 102 sq. miles, the crater is a virtual Noah's Ark, inhabited by almost every species of wildlife indigenous to East Africa, including the rare black rhino. In fact, the crater has the greatest concentration of wildlife on the planet. The large bull elephants that reside here have extremely large tusks due to the rich mineral content of the volcanic soil and its grasses.
• Descend to the crater floor for a day of wildlife viewing in one of the most incredible places on Earth.
• After a stop for a picnic lunch near the hippo lake and more wildlife viewing in the afternoon, drive up the steep road out of the crater.
• In the evening, transfer to Lake Eyasi.
  *Possibility for an afternoon walking safari in the Ngorongoro Highlands.

• Very early in the morning, before breakfast, join the Hadzabe tribe, one of the last truly nomadic tribes of Africa, in a fascinating hunting or fruit-gathering session. This is something absolutely unique and off the beaten track, offering a great cultural experience and an authentic opportunity for world-class photography.
• Visit beautiful Lake Eyasi, a seasonal shallow salt lake on the floor of the Great Rift Valley at the base of the Serengeti Plateau.
  In the afternoon, head to a traditional Maasai village that is by no means a touristic show. In fact, many visitors to Tanzania consider this visit to be the greatest highlight of their trip. During the tour, you will be guided by a Maasai Chief, who will show you the village, how the Maasai live, their habits, how they cook, how they take care of livestock, what and how they study, dance, and more. There is also an opportunity to watch the village women perform a local traditional dance. The whole experience provides fantastic photo opportunities.
