The itinerary

Day 01

Moshi to Tarangire National Park Safari

We will depart from Moshi/Arusha/airport in the morning and drive to Tarangire National Park, where colossal termite mounds and ancient baobab trees await us. This park is renowned for its immense elephant population, picturesque scenery, and diverse bird life. When our game drive ends, we will proceed to the Ngorongoro Crater rim campsite and witness the glorious sunset.

Day 02

Ngorongoro Crater Big Five Game Drive

We will have a timely start to the day to ensure that we arrive at the Ngorongoro Crater early for morning game drives, providing you with an excellent opportunity to spot wildlife. We will enjoy a wonderful game drive with an appetising picnic lunch inside the crater. The elevated structure encourages the animals to settle inside the crater so that you can spot every member of 'The Big 5' in one day. The Big Five dominate the savannah and consist of buffalo, lions, elephants, rhinos, and leopards. Normally, guides have close contact with other safari drivers so that they can share information on where to track down hidden animals and ensure that you have an eventful day. Dinner will be served, and we will spend the night at the Fanaka Campsite.

Day 03

Lake Manyara Safari and Return to Moshi

In the morning, we will depart for Lake Manyara, where we will spend the day and enjoy a delectable picnic lunch. Lake Manyara has abundant species that can reside in the park due to the wide range of habitats. The wildlife you can expect to see includes buffalo, elephants, giraffes, impalas, and the ferocious hippos that inhabit the water. Our trip will come to an end in the late afternoon. We will proceed to Moshi, or transportation can be arranged on request.
