Day 1
Arusha to Tarangire National Park — Land of Giants

Your journey begins with an early morning pickup from your hotel in Arusha. After a short safari briefing, you’ll set off towards Tarangire National Park, about 2 hours away.

Often referred to as the Land of Giants, Tarangire is famous for its large elephant herds, ancient baobab trees, and scenic views of the Tarangire River that cuts through golden savannahs.

Enjoy an extended game drive in search of lions, giraffes, zebras, leopards, and more. A picnic lunch is served at a scenic spot overlooking the river—just keep an eye out for cheeky monkeys!

After a full day of wildlife sightings, drive to Marera Valley Lodge in the green highlands of Karatu for a hot dinner and restful overnight stay.

Ngorongoro Crater – A Natural Wildlife Paradise

After an early breakfast at your lodge, you’ll depart for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area—home to the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Descend 600 meters to the crater floor for an unforgettable safari surrounded by high volcanic walls. Known as Africa’s natural zoo, the crater hosts the Big Five (lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and the endangered black rhino), as well as hippos, flamingos, and countless other species.

Enjoy a picnic lunch near the hippo pool before ascending back to the crater rim and beginning your return journey to Arusha.
