Itinerary
Your safari adventure begins with an early morning pick-up from your hotel in Arusha. After a warm welcome from your professional guide, you’ll set off on a scenic drive toward Tarangire National Park, renowned for its massive elephant herds and ancient baobab trees.
Upon arrival at the park entrance, you’ll complete registration before embarking on your first game drive. Tarangire’s diverse landscapes—from seasonal swamps to savannah plains—provide excellent opportunities to spot lions, leopards, zebras, and wildebeest. The Tarangire River acts as a lifeline, attracting large numbers of animals, especially in the dry season.
A picnic lunch will be served at a designated spot with panoramic views. In the afternoon, continue exploring the park before heading to your midrange lodge for dinner and overnight.

An early start ensures you’re among the first to descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, a natural wonder teeming with wildlife. The crater’s enclosed ecosystem supports one of the highest concentrations of animals in Africa, including the rare black rhino.
A full morning of game viewing takes you through grasslands, forests, and shallow lakes where flamingos gather. With luck, you may witness lions hunting or elephants bathing in the marshes. A picnic lunch will be served near the hippo pool, surrounded by nature.
After ascending the crater in the afternoon, you’ll begin the return drive to Arusha, arriving by early evening. Drop-off will be at your preferred location, marking the end of your unforgettable safari.
