Day 01

Arusha to Tarangire National Park Safari

After breakfast, depart for Tarangire National Park with lunch boxes and enjoy a full-day game drive in the park. In the afternoon, stop for a picnic lunch, then continue with another game drive.

The park consists of natural vegetation, mainly Acacia woodland and giant African baobab trees, with huge swamp areas in the south. The river and the swamps act like a magnet for wild animals during Tanzania's dry season.

Tarangire National Park is reputed to contain some of the largest elephant herds in Africa. This African national park is also home to three rare species of animals - the Greater Kudu, the Fringed-eared Oryx, and a few Ashy Starlings.

In the late afternoon, drive to Twiga/Kizumba Campsite for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 02

Ngorongoro Crater Game Drive and Return to Arusha

After breakfast, descend into the crater with lunch boxes for a full-day game drive, followed by a picnic lunch in the afternoon.

Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most densely crowded African wildlife areas in the world and is home to an estimated 30,000 animals, including some of Tanzania's last remaining black rhinos. Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the crater sustains a vast variety of animals, including herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants.

Another major draw of this picturesque national park is its huge population of predators, including lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard.

In the late afternoon, drive back to Arusha Town.
