Day 01

Moshi / Arusha to Tarangire National Park

You will be picked up in the morning, and after a short briefing, you will head toward Tarangire National Park. The park, with its savannah, baobab trees, and seasonal swamps, is home to huge elephant herds.

Animals gather at the life-giving Tarangire River, and you should see a selection of mammals ranging from giraffes, bushbuck, and hartebeest to zebra and warthog. The park is also home to buffalo, zebra, and wildebeest, which are always closely followed by predators such as lions. Leopards are seen now and then, but cheetahs are rarely spotted.

From the open roof of the safari vehicle, you will be able to absorb the landscape and watch the animals. In the late afternoon, you will leave the park and head to the nearby Kizumba campsite, where you will spend the night.

Ngorongoro Crater Game Drive to Arusha

After breakfast, descend into the crater with your lunch box and enjoy a game drive for over six hours. The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the world's most densely crowded African wildlife areas 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 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 vast predator population, including lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard on the crater floor.
