The itinerary

Day 01

Arusha to Tarangire National Park Safari

We depart today for Tarangire with packed lunch, passing through the open plains south of Arusha town. During the dry season from May to October, Tarangire has the greatest concentration of wildlife outside the Serengeti ecosystem, and its wetlands in the southeast portion of the park support over 300 varieties of birds. With fewer tourists than other parks, Tarangire's rolling savannah, dotted with thousands of baobab and acacia trees, offers a great chance to enjoy Africa's wilderness and solitude. You will have a full-day game drive.

Dinner and overnight at Twiga Camp Site.

Day 02

Ngorongoro Crater Game Drive and Return to Arusha

After breakfast, we depart for Ngorongoro Crater, passing through the forested slopes of the Ngorongoro Crater Highlands before arriving at the rim. We'll descend into the crater, one of the most densely crowded game areas in the world, home to nearly 40,000 animals. Here we'll have a good chance of seeing the Big Five: lion, leopard, rare Black Rhino, buffalo, and elephants. Along with the Big Five, we will also see herds of wildebeest, zebra, and Thomson's gazelle. After a picnic lunch, we'll continue our game drive, depart the crater, and drive back to Arusha.
