  • Arrival Day: Arusha expand_more

    Arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport, where you will enjoy an expedited visa application process, skipping the lines. You will be met by your Marvel African Expeditions & Safaris guide, who will accompany you for the rest of your safari. They will be waiting for you outside the arrival lounge and drive you to your accommodations in Arusha, a journey of 45-60 minutes. Afterwards, savour a great meal and unwind, preparing for the start of your safari the following day.

  • Day 1: Arusha to Tarangire National Park expand_more

    Today, we embark on a drive to Tarangire National Park, offering excellent game-viewing opportunities. Tarangire, though relatively small in size, provides captivating sights. During the dry seasons, Tarangire comes to life as wildlife and birdlife gather around the Tarangire River, a permanent water source. Later in the day, we head to the campsite or lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

  • Day 2: Tarangire to Ngorongoro Crater expand_more

    We kick off the day with an early morning game drive before going to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Ngorongoro holds a unique status as a Conservation Area rather than a National Park, where the area is managed for the benefit of both wildlife and the local Maasai people, who share the land with indigenous wildlife. While driving to Ngorongoro, we catch glimpses of the Maasai way of life. After a stop at the entrance gate to learn about this captivating volcanic landscape, we follow the rim of the Crater, often spotting herds of wildebeest or buffalo below. Eventually, we descend into the crater itself. The crater walls create a natural sanctuary for the animals, providing abundant wildlife viewing opportunities, including lions, elephants, buffalo, rhinos, and, if fortunate, leopards. The only notable absence here is giraffes, whose long legs aren't suited to the crater's steep sides. In the late afternoon, we make a short journey from the crater to the campsite or lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

  • Day 3: Ngorongoro Crater to Lake Manyara National Park expand_more

    Today, we head to Lake Manyara National Park for a full day of game drives. Although one of Tanzania's smaller parks, Lake Manyara offers a rewarding and diverse safari experience. The lakeshore teems with birdlife, and while birdwatching, you might spot the elusive tree-climbing lions. Many other large mammals can also be found here, with the striking cliffs of the Rift escarpment forming a dramatic backdrop. In the late afternoon, we drive back to Arusha and check in at your booked hotel for dinner and an overnight stay.
