Day 2: ARUSHA >> TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK >> KARATU

After breakfast, your safari guide will collect you from your accommodation and drive you to Tarangire National Park. This natural wonder is named after the Tarangire River which flows through the park and provides the only permanent water for wildlife in the area. The Park is famous for its large population of elephants and more than 550 species of birds. These creatures are among the fauna that roam the park’s grounds, which are dotted with baobab trees, acacia woodlands, high grasses, and seasonal swamps. The Park is also home to buffalo, zebra, and wildebeest. These animals are closely followed by a range of predators such as lions and leopards. Absorb the scenic beauty of the landscape and wildlife from an open roof of the vehicle. The lunch area is fascinating, boasting an observatory with amazing views of the river and wildlife (with good chances of seeing a hunt while having your picnic).

Day 3: KARATU >> NGORONGORO CRATER >> SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK

After breakfast, drive to Ngorongoro crater rim where you will descend into the crater for a wonderful game drive with your lunch box to be served in the crater. This region has often been described as the “eighth wonder of the world” and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest unbroken volcanic caldera. The 2,000-foot-deep crater formed when a volcano exploded and collapsed on itself some 2 to 3 million years ago.

A rich grassy pasture covers the crater floor and provides favourable conditions for grazing animals such as lions, zebras, gazelles, buffalo, and warthogs, to name a few. This natural enclosure provides a haven for some of Tanzania’s endangered black rhinos. Later in the afternoon ascend from the crater, and drive to Serengeti National Park.
