What to expect

Day 1: Tarangire National park, Or Ngorongoro Crater
  1. Tarangire National Park
    8h
    Your safari begins with a pickup from your Arusha hotel or Kilimanjaro Airport at approximately 8:00 AM. After a 2-hour drive, you will arrive at the Tarangire gate for your first game drive. Tarangire is famous for its massive herds of elephants and the iconic, ancient Baobab trees that dot the landscape. What makes this park unique is the Tarangire River, which serves as the primary water source for wildlife in the region. During your drive, you can expect to see lions, giraffes, zebras, and buffaloes gathering near the water. It is a birdwatcher’s paradise with over 550 species, providing a wild and authentic bush experience before you head to your accommodation for the evening.
Day 2: Ngorongoro Crater
  1. Ngorongoro Crater
    9m · Admission ticket included
    On the second day, you will drive to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area for a spectacular game drive inside the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera. This park is unique because it is a self-contained ecosystem with walls 600 meters high, acting as a natural enclosure for over 25,000 large animals. It is one of the best places in Africa to see the "Big Five" in a single day, especially the rare black rhino. You can expect to see dense populations of lions, hyenas, wildebeests, and vibrant pink flamingos at Lake Magadi on the crater floor. After an afternoon of wildlife viewing, you will ascend the crater rim and drive back to Arusha town or the airport for your departure.
