The itinerary

Day 01

Moshi / Arusha to Tarangire and Onward to Ngorongoro

We will depart for Tarangire National Park early in the morning. Once we arrive in Tarangire, we will begin exploring the enormous termite mounds and the ancient baobab trees. This park is renowned for its diverse bird species and extensive population of elephants.
There are regular sightings of ferocious lions, giraffes, warthogs, ostriches, impalas, cheetahs, mongoose, buffaloes, and mischievous baboons. After viewing the wildlife in Tarangire, we will continue our journey to our next highlight, the Ngorongoro Crater, close to Lake Manyara. Dinner and overnight. Meals provided: Lunch & Dinner

Day 02

Ngorongoro Crater Game Drive and Return to Arusha/Moshi

We will have an early start to the day to ensure we complete the itinerary, including a magnificent game drive with a picnic lunch in the crater. Animals infrequently migrate in and out of the crater due to its elevated walls. This means you can spot every member of the big five in one day. The big five comprises buffalo, elephants, rhinos, lions, and leopards. Some other wildlife you can expect to see include zebras, hippos, wildebeest, and hyenas. The crater also features an extensive bird population, including geese, storks, and vultures.
The lovely flamingos on Soda Lake will grace you. Our highly skilled guides will impress you with their ability to track down animals. This is a skill that a book cannot teach and that only a selected few can perform. Your trip will end in the late afternoon, and we will proceed to Arusha. Meals provided: Breakfast and Lunch
