Itinerary in DetailsDay 1: Arusha/Moshi – Tarangire National Park
After an early breakfast, you will meet your professional safari guide for a briefing before setting off toward Tarangire National Park. The drive takes you through Maasai villages and scenic landscapes until you arrive at the park’s entrance gate.
Tarangire is famous for its rolling savannah dotted with ancient baobab trees and is home to one of the largest populations of elephants in Tanzania. During the game drive, you may also encounter lions, leopards, zebras, wildebeest, buffalo, giraffes, and a wide variety of bird species. The Tarangire River, which runs through the park, attracts large herds of animals, especially during the dry season, making it an incredible location for wildlife photography.
You will enjoy a packed picnic lunch inside the park, followed by an afternoon game drive until the early evening. Afterward, you will head to your campsite near Mto wa Mbu or Karatu, where tents will be set up. Dinner is prepared by your safari cook, and you can spend the evening relaxing by the campfire, sharing stories under the vast African night sky.
Overnight: Public or Private Campsite (Full Board: Dinner, Breakfast & Lunch included).
Day 2: Ngorongoro Crater – Arusha/Moshi
Wake up early to the sounds of nature and enjoy a hot breakfast at the campsite before departing for Ngorongoro Crater. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the most remarkable safari destinations in Africa. You will descend over 600 meters into the crater floor, which is home to more than 25,000 animals.
Here, you will have the chance to spot the Big Five lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and the endangered black rhino. The crater is also home to large numbers of hippos, wildebeest, zebras, hyenas, and countless bird species. With its lush grasslands, acacia forests, and soda lake, the scenery is just as breathtaking as the wildlife encounters.
