The itinerary

Day 01

Arusha to Tarangire and Lake Manyara Campsite

Depart for Tarangire National Park early in the morning.
After arriving in Tarangire, begin exploring the enormous termite mounds and the 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, continue the journey to the next highlight, the Ngorongoro Crater.

Put up the tents for the night close to Lake Manyara. Dinner will be served at the campsite.

Day 02

Ngorongoro Crater Game Drive and Return to Arusha

Have an early start to complete the itinerary for the day, 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 high walls. This means you can spot every member of the Big Five in one day. The Big Five comprises buffalo, elephants, rhinos, lions, and leopards. Some other wildlife you can expect to see include zebras, hippos, wildebeest, and hyenas. The crater also features an extensive bird population, including geese, storks, and vultures.
Sight flamingos on the Soda Lake.
After the trip ends in the late afternoon, proceed to Arusha.

Arrangements for transportation to the airport or Arusha can be made on request.
