Day 01

Arusha to Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro Crater

After breakfast in Arusha, we will depart early in the morning for Tarangire National Park. Once we arrive, we will begin exploring the enormous termite mounds and ancient baobab trees. This park is renowned for its diverse bird species and extensive population of elephants.

There are regular sightings of ferocious lions, giraffes, warthogs, ostriches, impalas, cheetahs, mongooses, buffaloes, and mischievous baboons. After viewing the wildlife in Tarangire, we will continue our journey to our next highlight, the Ngorongoro Crater, close to Lake Manyara.

Dinner and overnight.

Day 02

Ngorongoro Crater Game Drive and Return to Arusha

We will have an early start to the day to ensure that we complete the itinerary, which includes a magnificent game drive with a picnic lunch in the crater. Animals infrequently migrate in and out of the crater due to its elevated walls. This means you can spot every member of the big five in one day.

The big five comprise buffalo, elephants, rhinos, lions, and leopards. Some of the other wildlife that you can expect to see include zebras, hippos, wildebeests, and hyenas. The crater also features an extensive bird population, including geese, storks, and vultures.

The lovely flamingos on Soda Lake will grace you. Our guides are highly skilled and will impress you with their ability to track down animals. This is a skill that a book cannot teach and that only a selected few can perform.

Your trip will come to an end in the late afternoon, and we will proceed back to Arusha.
