Day 1: Arusha to Tarangire National Park

Start your adventure with a pick-up from your hotel in Arusha at 8:00 AM. Leave for Tarangire National Park after breakfast. Tarangire is the third largest national park in Tanzania and is known throughout the world for its dense population of herbivores and large herds of elephants.

Not just the animals, even the large baobab trees inside the national park have become tourist attractions in recent times. The national park's lifeblood is the Tarangire River, which bisects the park. The river is also where many animals, both predators and prey, gather around. This provides for an excellent game-viewing opportunity to all the travelers.

Once you are done with the day-long safari, head to Mto wa Mbu public campsite for a shower, dinner, and overnight stay. Enjoy a full-board meal.

Day 2: Tarangire to Ngorongoro Crater tour

Start your day early. Carry a picnic lunch with you and head for the crater's floor at 8:00 AM. The floor is teeming with wildlife as very few animals move in and out of its 2000ft-high walls.

See lions, elephants, zebras, hippos, flamingos, jackals, rhinos, antelopes, and many bird species. Visit the nook and cranny of the crater, where your driver/guide will take you after contacting other safari drivers in the area.

Ascend from the crater floor late in the afternoon and drive to your Mto wa Mbu campsite for a shower, dinner, and overnight stay.

Day 3: Lake Manyara- Back Arusha drop off

Enjoy breakfast at the camp. Pack all your stuff with you and picnic lunches and drive to Lake Manyara National Park for game viewing. Lake Manyara is ideal for viewing birdlife, with over 400 species of birds found in the park.

As well as birds, the national park is also famous for its tree-climbing lions. Enjoy your final day game drive tour and evening will back to Arusha city drop off.
