Tour Plan
Day 1: Arusha to Tarangire National Park
After an early breakfast, you will be picked up from your hotel in Arusha and begin your journey to Tarangire National Park. The drive is a scenic one, passing through local villages and vibrant landscapes. Upon arrival, you will enter the park and embark on your first game drive. Tarangire is famous for its massive elephant population, which can be seen digging for water in the riverbed during the dry season. The park is also home to a variety of other animals, including lions, leopards, giraffes, and a wide array of birds. You will enjoy a picnic lunch in the park before continuing your game drive. In the late afternoon, you will head to your lodge or camp for dinner and an overnight stay.
Day 2: Ngorongoro Conservation Area
After breakfast, you will drive to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a journey of approximately 2-3 hours. The landscape changes dramatically as you ascend into the highlands, offering spectacular views. You will check in to your accommodation near the crater rim, where you will have lunch and a little time to relax and absorb the stunning surroundings. The afternoon can be spent at your leisure, perhaps with a short guided walk or simply enjoying the panoramic views from your lodge. Dinner and overnight stay are at your lodge or camp.
