Day 1: Arusha -Tarangire National Park

Depart from Arusha in the morning and drive to Tarangire National Park with lunch boxes to start your game drives as soon as you reach the park.

Tarangire National Park, gazetted in 1970, is 118km away from Arusha town, which covers an area off 2600sq km that's about 1600 miles and derivers its name from the Tarangire River that flows through the center of the park. The river flows from south to north/northwest and empties its water in Lake Burungi. An exceptional collection of "Acacia tortilis" and baobab trees has become synonymous with the name Tarangire National Park.

Dinner and overnight at Tarangire Safari Lodge.

Day 2: Tarangire - Lake Manyara

After breakfast, drive to Lake Manyara Park for full day game drives with picnic lunch.

The Lake Manyara National park is serene and beautiful with main attractions of a rich bird life, tree-climbing lions, its elephants, and hippos that you can see at closer range than most other places. Lake Manyara is an alkaline lake and at certain times of the year hosts thousands of flamingos and a diversity of other bird life. Although it is one of the smallest parks, its vegetation is so diverse enabling it to host a variety of wildlife habitats.

Dinner and overnight at a Twiga Lodge and Campsite.

Day 3: lake Manyara - Ngorongoro Conservancy

0700hrs: Depart Lake Manyara after breakfast for 1 hour drive to Ngorongoro conservancy area. On arrival descend into the crater with a picnic lunch for a full day crater tour with game drives. Later in the afternoon, ascend back for dinner and overnight at Bougainvillea Safari Lodge.

Formed over time after a massive volcanic explosion, the wilderness that is Ngorongoro plays host to more than twenty thousand animals in an a relatively small area. Such is the nutritional value of the grass in the crater that herbivores thrive – and with that is a high predator population, in particular lions and hyenas.

The Ngorongoro crater is the world’s biggest whole volcanic caldera at 8300 sq km and is arguably the most stunning arena. It is frequently described as one of the wonders of the world, not only because of its geological magnificence, but also because it serves as an extraordinary natural sanctuary for some of Africa’s largest populations of large mammals. Ngorongoro and other freestanding mountains are volcanic in origin, formed during the fracturing process that created the Rift valley 15 to 20 million years ago.

 

Day 4: Ngorongoro Conservancy - Arusha

Enjoy a morning game drive within the conservancy area before departing with lunch en route to Arusha arriving late in the afternoon.
