Day 1: Arusha-Tarangire National Park

After breakfast, depart Arusha and drive to Tarangire National Park for your first wildlife experience. The park is well known for its large elephant herds, ancient baobab trees, seasonal wetlands, and diverse landscapes.

Enjoy a game drive through the park while looking for elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffaloes, antelopes, and numerous bird species. You may also encounter lions and other predators as you explore the park.

After the game drive, continue to your accommodation for the evening.

Day 2: Tarangire-Ngorongoro Crater-Karatu

Later, ascend from the crater and continue to your accommodation in Karatu for the evening.
