Day 1: Tarangire National Park

After breakfast, you will have approximately a two-hour drive to Tarangire National Park. Along the way you will pass bustling Masai villages and plains that have become synonymous with images of Africa.

This park is often referred to as the “home of elephants”, meaning you will have a great chance to spot elephants in large groups gathering around the Tarangire River, which runs throughout the year and is a vital source of water for the animals of Tarangire National Park during the dry season.

Lined with Baobab and Acacia trees, the river is regularly visited by the park’s large elephant population as well as other herbivores such as zebra and antelopes.

A picnic lunch with a view of the river is a great way to take it all in, but you'll have to keep on your toes as the local monkey population does its best to separate you from your lunch!

Driving through the park you'll also have the opportunity to see lions, leopards, cape buffalo, and a huge variety of antelopes. If you're particularly lucky, you might even see endangered animals such as the Greater Kudu or the Fringe-Eared Oryx.

After your day's game drive you will heading to your accommodation for dinner and overnight

Day 2: Tarangire National Park - Ngorongoro Crater

After breakfast, you'll depart for Ngorongoro Crater; considered by some to be the Eighth Wonder of the World. When you get your first glimpse of this vast, verdant caldera from the panoramic viewpoint, you'll soon understand why it has earned such a lofty reputation.

Ngorongoro is home to over 120 mammal species including the fabled Big Five, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is one of the most sought after safari destinations in the world. It's a particularly good place to see the endangered black rhinoceros enjoying a lonely meal out on the grass plains, as well as a place to see large numbers of hippopotamus enjoying the cool water.

From the comfort of your pop-up roof vehicle, you'll be able to observe and photograph some of Africa's most recognizable animals. The crater is home to a large number of predators including lions, leopards, cheetahs, jackals, and hyenas, as well as a large population of wildebeest, zebras, antelope, cape buffalo, and more. It is truly one of Africa's premier safari destinations.

After the thrills and excitement of the day, you will have a picnic lunch in the park. You'll return to Arusha in the late afternoon/early evening.
