Begin your African safari adventure with a day trip to Tarangire National Park, known as the home of elephants and baobabs. This park is second only to the Ngorongoro Crater in its concentration of game, but is a less crowded, hidden gem among safari parks, possessing a wild, unkempt beauty. The best chance to see herds of wild elephants is here at Tarangire. This tour will also take you to Ngorongoro Conservation Area on a second day, which will begin with a descent into the scenic Ngorongoro Crater, formed from the caldera of a former volcano. This massive, self-contained ecosystem is teeming with diverse wildlife and is famously known for having one of the highest concentrations of game in all of Africa. Experience the excitement of wildlife up close in two of the most spectacular national game parks in Tanzania.

Wake up for an authentic Tanzanian breakfast and depart shortly after for Tarangire National Park. The park runs along the Tarangire River and is made up of low-lying hills, dotted with acacia and baobab trees. In the dry season, this park is bustling with life when many of the migratory wildlife species are drawn to the permanent waters and swamps of the Tarangire River. Huge herds of wildebeest, zebras, elephants, elands, and oryx gather to stay during the dry season in Tarangire until the onset of the rains when they will migrate to better grazing areas. The park is also home to rare species of animals, including the greater kudu, the fringed-eared oryx, and the ashy starling. After a spectacular game drive, the day ends with a drive to the Accommodation through the small town called Mto wa Mbu. Dinner and overnight will be at your accommodation in Manyara or Karatu.

The day starts with a short drive to the Ngorongoro Gate. Passing through the gate, the tour begins with a drive down the crater rim to descend over 600 meters into the crater to view its vast wildlife. Supported by a year-round supply of water and fodder, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area supports a varied array of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, black rhinos, white rhinos, zebras, baboons, buffalo, elands, warthogs, hippos and giant African elephants. A unique draw of this picturesque park is its dense population of hyenas, jackals, and cheetahs roaming around, as well as the elusive leopard, which typically requires a highly trained eye to spot. A large number of flamingos, hippos, and other aquatic birds can be seen at Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner of the crater. After the game drive and picnic lunch, drive back to Arusha in time for dinner at your accommodation, where you will also spend your last night.
