We will pick you up at the airport in Arusha or Kilimanjaro. One of our representatives will stand with a sign with your name in the arrivals hall. You will then be transferred to your hotel where you will have time to recover after a long journey. Arusha is beautifully situated at the foot of Tanzania's second highest mountain, Mount Meru. Just a few kilometres away is Africa's highest mountain Kilimanjaro. The region is characterised by coffee and banana plantations. Arusha is high above sea level, which makes the climate very pleasant.
After breakfast you will drive to Tarangire National Park. Here you start with a walking safari of about 1,5 hours with an armed ranger. Walking on the savannah is an incredibly awesome and unique experience. Tarangire is a lush and hilly national park and the vegetation is incredibly diverse. In the park you can see many of the spectacular baobab trees. Tarangire is best known for its large elephant population, which you can often get very close to, but there are also a variety of other animals such as antelope, buffalo, giraffe, zebra and all the big cats. During the dry season, the Tarangire River attracts large numbers of animals. At dusk, you will end your safari tour and return to your accommodation for a moment of relaxation before dinner.
In the morning you will be picked up from the hotel and drive to Lake Manyara National Park. You will have lunch at a picnic area inside the park. The park is a bird lover's paradise and here you can see pelicans and flamingos, but also lots of other animals. The vegetation is dense with many different plants, which is exciting as you don't know what animals might appear after the next turn. Lake Manyara is famous for its tree-climbing lions, but they are nevertheless rare to see. In the middle is a large lake where animals often gather to drink. At dusk you will end your safari and go back to your accommodation to relax and eat dinner.
Early in the morning you start the journey down into the Ngorongoro Crater. The trip along the crater rim and then down to the crater itself is a mighty experience. Ngorongoro Crater is the world's largest inactive volcano and there is a height difference of almost 600 metres from the crater rim down to the crater floor. The crater is called the Garden of Eden because there are between 25,000 - 30,000 wild animals in this area. At a nice picnic area, often full of hippos, the day's lunch is taken. After an intense day in the crater, you begin the journey back to Arusha. On the way back, you may choose to stop for a short visit to a genuine Maasai village to get an insight into how they live.
You can enjoy a leisurely breakfast at the hotel. If you choose to add our Zanzibar package, we will pick you up well before departure. If you have booked your own flight from Arusha or Kilimanjaro, you decide when you want to be picked up for transport to the airport. If you would like a transfer on another day, this can be arranged.
