Travel Itinerary
The First Day - Exploring the Splendor of Arusha and Tarangire National Park
Following your morning meal, your expert safari guide will collect you from your accommodations to commence your adventure to Tarangire National Park. Originally a hunting ground during the colonial era, Tarangire was designated a national park in 1970 and has since become a hidden treasure of Tanzania, covering an expanse similar to that of Luxembourg. The park is famed for its sizable elephant herds, some of the largest in the northern region of Tanzania, as well as a diverse array of other animals like zebras, giraffes, wildebeests, and buffaloes. If fortune smiles upon you, you may also catch a glimpse of predators such as lions, cheetahs, and leopards. The terrain of the park is a captivating blend of savannah, temporary wetlands, and iconic baobab trees, which are especially plentiful in the northeastern part of the park, crafting a memorable setting for your wildlife excursion. Following a full day of observing wildlife, you will retire for the evening at a campsite situated within the park, enveloped by the sounds of the African wilderness.
The Second Day - The Ngorongoro Crater within Tarangire National Park
Following an early morning meal, we will embark on our journey towards the Ngorongoro Crater. The drive will take you through the charming town of Mto wa Mbu, offering glimpses of Lake Manyara along the way. As we pass by the quaint town of Karatu, the road will wind its way up the rugged slopes of the East African Rift Valley leading to the highlands of the Ngorongoro Crater. The route then descends around 600 meters into the crater, which boasts a diameter ranging from 17 to 21 kilometers and is teeming with diverse wildlife. This natural wonder serves as a habitat for a plethora of East African savannah creatures, with the exception of giraffes and a handful of other species that find the steep rock formations unsuitable for dwelling. Depending on the time of year, you can witness between 15,000 to 25,000 animals congregating here, with a majority being buffaloes, wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles. The significant presence of herbivores in the crater explains the high concentration of predators, making it home to the most extensive collection of carnivorous animals in Africa. Among these predators are over 100 lions, residing in various prides within the area.
The Third Day - Arusha - Lake Manyara National Park - Ngorongoro Crater
Following breakfast, the journey commences towards Lake Manyara National Park, a picturesque treasure tucked at the foot of the Great Rift Valley escarpment. The park's name originates from its shallow, alkaline lake, attracting numerous waterbirds and offering a stunning backdrop for observing wildlife. Noteworthy highlights include the dazzling pink flamingos adorning the shores, along with a diverse array of bird species such as cormorants, pelicans, and storks. With a recorded count of over 400 bird varieties, the park becomes a haven for bird enthusiasts. Lake Manyara is renowned for its exceptional tree-climbing lions, usually spotted in the central, open plains of the park. While on your safari drive, you may also come across elephants, zebras, giraffes, buffalo, and hippos. As the day of remarkable wildlife sightings draws to a close, the return journey to Arusha begins in the late afternoon, carrying cherished memories and captivating safari snapshots.
