Day 1: Tarangire National Park

At 8:00am you will be picked up your hotel located in Moshi or Arusha by your safari guide and driver. On entering the park, you will meet with the beautiful Tanzanian wildlife within minutes. The next few hours will be spent game driving through the park, most likely in awe of the majestic Elephants and playful zebras.

Lunch will be provided for you by your guide and enjoyed within the grounds of the park. Later on you will hit the dirt path once more in search of more game viewing.

When you have had your fill of your first day of game driving, you will head to your accommodation. You will spend the night near the park, in preparation for another drive around Tarangire in the morning. Watch the sunset from your camp or lodge and enjoy some rest before your next day of game driving.

Day 2: Tarangire Game Drive to Ngorongoro

You will have an early start on your second day to catch the wildlife while they are active. Who knows what you might spot as the day is dawning. So, after breakfast, you will spend a few hours roaming Tarangire once more.

Lunch will be served in Tarangire National Park before leaving the gates of the park and heading to Ngorongoro at Karatu.

The crater is known for its high concentration of exciting animals, in no time you will be witnessing more spectacular sites as your driver hunts down anything you didn’t see before lunch.
