Day 01

Tarangire National Park Game Drive

  • Have breakfast before the tour departs. The first stop is Arusha town for any last-minute purchases before we head off on safari.
  • Head towards Tarangire National Park for a game drive with a picnic lunch in the park. Tarangire is well known for its huge elephant population and baobab trees. It forms the centre of an annual migratory cycle that includes up to 3,000 elephants, 25,000 wildebeest, and 30,000 zebras.

Dinner and overnight at a 3-star hotel, lodge, or tented lodge.

Day 02

Wildlife Viewing in Ngorongoro Crater

  • Have an early breakfast, then descend over 600 meters into the crater to view wildlife. Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area supports a wide variety of animals, including herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another big drawcard of this picturesque national park is its dense population of predators, including lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot.

Dinner and overnight at a 3-star hotel, lodge, or tented lodge.

Day 03

Lake Manyara National Park and Return

  • Have breakfast and head to Lake Manyara. Lake Manyara National Park offers breathtaking views and a large variety of habitats, including Acacia woodlands, water forests, baobab-strewn cliffs, algae-streaked hot springs, swamps, and the lake itself. Thanks to all this, the small park is able to support a large number of animal species and incredible birdlife. Manyara has the largest concentration of baboons anywhere in the world, and the lions here are also renowned for their tree-climbing.
  • Transfer to Arusha or drop off at the airport.
