Your adventure begins with a morning drive from Arusha to Tarangire National Park, known for its iconic baobab trees and large elephant herds. Enjoy a full-day game drive, with opportunities to see lions, zebras, giraffes, and many bird species near the Tarangire River. In the late afternoon, drive to Karatu or Mto wa Mbu for dinner and overnight at a lodge or tented camp.
After an early breakfast, head into the Ngorongoro Crater, one of the world’s best places to see the “Big Five” in one day. Descend into the crater for a game drive on the floor of this collapsed volcano, where you can spot black rhinos, lions, hippos, and large flocks of flamingos. After a picnic lunch in the crater, ascend and return to your lodge for a relaxed evening.
On your final day, explore Lake Manyara National Park, a lush green park nestled beneath the Great Rift Valley escarpment. It's famous for tree-climbing lions, large troops of baboons, and abundant birdlife, especially flamingos along the lake shore. Enjoy a morning game drive, then head back to Arusha by late afternoon, ending your safari with amazing memories.
