Pick up at 8:30 AM from your hotel in Arusha and depart for Tarangire National Park with a picnic lunch for
a full day game drive. Tanzania’s third largest National Park is known for its majestic baobab trees
that dot the landscape, dwarfing the animals that feed beneath them. The Tarangire River is the
centerpiece of this park which is famous for some of the largest herds of elephants in Africa. Here you may
see lion, leopard, cheetah, lesser kudu, buffalo, Oryx, eland, giraffe and zebra. Post the game drive,
you will head back to your camp/lodge where a delicious dinner awaits you.
Your day will begin after a breakfast by about 8AM with a full day game drive in Tarangire National Park
ahead of you. The national park is extremely famous and special for its diverse landscape and nine
different vegetation zones. As you begin your game drive, you will be welcomed by the ancient and gigantic
Baobab trees, which make even animals like the giraffe look tiny. The game drive goes on till about late
afternoon and includes a small stop for a picnic lunch. The 3,000 Sq Kms park gets its name from the
Tarangire river that flows through it. The river attracts a lot of diverse animals and you should be able
to spot a lot of elephants, giraffe, lions, antelopes and zebras. If it’s your lucky day, you might be
able to spot the tree climbing python and the long-necked Gerek. The Tarangire National Park has the
highest concentration of elephants, which offers a unique chance for you to observe interactions between
elephant families. Don’t forget to capture this beautiful scenery with your camera ready at hand. Post the
game drive, you will head back to your camp/lodge where a delicious dinner awaits you. Have a good
night’s sleep for tomorrow's adventure.
On the last day of your safari, you will have an early start. Finishing up with a quick breakfast you will
make an early descent at around 6:30 AM into the crater floor. The Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s
largest inactive, intact and unfilled volcanic caldera. It has a massive floor of about 260 sq kms with a
depth of over 2000 feet. The 5-hour game drive on the crater floor will show you a lot of animal action.
Keeping the camera ready is definitely recommended. The African elephant, buffalo, Black rhino, Hippos,
Hyenas, Cheetahs and Lions are found in plenty. Post the picnic lunch at the beautiful Hippo pool, you
will begin a steep ascend to the top exit of the crater. This is the last leg of your safari, with a
4hr drive left to Arusha. You will be dropped off to your preferred location in Arusha by 6:00 PM in the
evening. With an incredible experience and loads of memories to cherish, this is the time you bid goodbye
to your team.
