Itinerary
Day 1: Tarangire National Park
Day 1: Tarangire National Park
Your guide welcomes you to Kilimanjaro International Airport and immediately you go on your first adventure in a jeep. You drive to Tarangire National Park. The journey there takes about three and a half hours and leads over a well-developed road.
The Tarangire River, which flows through the national park, gave it this name. The „river of the warthogs “ is the only water source in this area in the dry season. The park is known for its large herds of elephants, which often gather on the river. You can also see giraffes, zebras, wildebeests and other antelope species. Of course, their hunters, lions and leopards are not far either. Another special feature are the large and very old baobab trees.
Enjoy lunch at one of the park’s picnic areas. In the afternoon you arrive at your camp and can refresh yourself in the pool before dinner.
Overnight stay – Hhando Coffee Lodge
Meal Plan: Dinner/breakfast / lunch FB
Day 2: Lake Manyara National Park
Day 2: Lake Manyara National Park
After breakfast, continue to Lake Manyara National Park about 120 km from Arusha. The salty lake covers a large part of the park, which is flooded with the seasons and falls dry again. In the west, the park is bordered by the high cliffs of the Great African Rift Valley. As a sign of tectonic faults, there is a hot spring, Maji Moto. It is home to thousands of flamingos and around 500 other bird species. As you explore the national park, you will see monkeys, giraffes, zebras, buffalos, elephants and, if you are lucky, lions that rot in the trees.
These made the park famous. You will have your picnic lunch in the park. In the afternoon you arrive at your lodge in the Ngorongoro region and stay here.

Day 3: Ngorongoro crater and transfer back to Arusha or to the Kilimanjaro Airport
After an early breakfast, it goes down to the crater to reach a highlight of your safari tour – the Ngorongoro crater region. When you see the Ngorongoro crater for the first time, you look into a forgotten world. This crater area offers some of the most rewarding game viewing in East Africa. Because this is a Big 5 country in the largest caldera in the world. Surrounded by the steep volcanic walls, savannah, acacia forests, lakes and swamp areas unfold. This crater was created by a massive explosion before approx. 2 million years and is approximately 260 km ² in size. It offers you the greatest view of the endangered black rhinoceros. Relax and enjoy the breathtaking landscape and the rich wildlife. To protect the animal world, we can only stay in the crater for 6 hours. After the ascent, we return to Arusha or Kilimanjaro International Airport.
