DAY1TARANGIRE

Tarangire National Park is famous for its large elephant herds, seasonal wildlife migrations, and iconic baobab trees that grow across the open acacia landscape. It is also known for sightings of tree-climbing African pythons, making it one of the most unique safari destinations in Tanzania.

The park is the sixth largest national park in Tanzania, after Ruaha, Serengeti, Mikumi, Katavi, and Mkomazi. It takes its name from the Tarangire River, which flows through its scenic landscapes and supports abundant wildlife, especially during the dry season.

Key highlights of Tarangire National Park include large elephant herds, open savannahs dotted with baobab trees, predators such as lions and leopards, and diverse wildlife including cheetahs and other species. The park is also part of a wider ecosystem that supports seasonal wildlife movements.

Being a seasonal park, Tarangire experiences significant migratory movements of animals within the greater ecosystem, making wildlife viewing especially rewarding during dry seasons.

Lunch is taken at a picnic site inside the park, followed by an evening drive out to Mto wa Mbu for dinner and overnight stay.

Day 2LAKE MANYARA NATIONAL PARK

Drive to Lake Manyara from noon to sunset game drive. Lake Manyara is a beautiful little national park famous for the legendary tree-climbing lions and many other large and small mammals. Driving through the lush garden is a gentle reminder that you are in Africa now. Exotic bird calls fill the air. Lunch can be served at the many picnic sites in the park, or if you wish, you can go to the lodge for lunch before heading back for afternoon game drives, zebras, wildebeests, bushbucks, dik-diks and guinea fowl regularly cross your path much to your delight. We'll meander through bush paths and explore the lake, home to thousands of flamingos.

Day 3NGORONGORO CRATER – ARUSHA

After an early breakfast, descend 600 meters into the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera. The crater floor is a paradise for wildlife, hosting an incredible concentration of animals’ black rhinos grazing in the open, lions lazing in the grass, vast herds of buffalo and wildebeest, and flocks of flamingos painting the lakeshore pink. A picnic lunch will be enjoyed at the hippo pool, where you can take in the serene beauty of this natural amphitheater. In the afternoon, ascend from the crater and make the scenic drive back to Arusha, marking the end of your unforgettable safari.
