After an early breakfast, you’re on the road heading southwest of Arusha. The landscape starts to shift — red earth, wide views, and soon, you start seeing the giant baobab trees signalling your arrival in Tarangire.
By mid-morning, you’re inside the park and you start sighting vast wildlife including the elephants as they move in slow herds. Giraffes feed at eye level with the trees. You may spot a lion in the tall grass or a cheetah trailing quietly behind gazelle.
Lunch is a picnic under shade, surrounded by birdsong and later, in the afternoon, the light gets softer — perfect for photos and final sightings before you drive out and continue to your lodge near Ngorongoro, where the evening is cool and quiet.
Meals: Lunch, Dinner
Accommodation Options:
You rise early and head toward the rim for an experience that shall blow your mind. Immediately after your arrival in Ngorongoro, you shall descend about 600meters into Ngorongoro Crater. The experience is not just stunning but also unforgettable —enjoy the mist on the rim, green walls rising high, and then… wildlife everywhere.
Lions walk openly. Buffalo rest near the road. Flamingos stand motionless in the soda lake. With luck, you might glimpse a rare black rhino in the distance. You’ll spend hours in the crater, pausing only for a bush breakfast or quiet moments by the hippo pool.
By mid-afternoon after your encounter has climaxed, you exit the crater and begin your return to Arusha. You arrive in the early evening — dusty, full, and quiet inside.
