TOUR PLAN

Day 1: Arusha to Tarangire National Park 

Your journey begins with a warm welcome in Arusha before driving to Tarangire National Park, often overlooked but a hidden gem bursting with life. Known for its ancient baobab trees and vast elephant populations, Tarangire provides an authentic introduction to Tanzania’s wilderness. With your expert guide, you’ll track lions, giraffes, and buffaloes across the park’s rugged savannah. Enjoy a picnic lunch overlooking the Tarangire River, where elephants frequently gather. As the sun sets, arrive at your public campsite, where dinner is served under the stars—a true bush experience.

Day 2: Ngorongoro Crater – Africa’s Natural Wonder

After an early breakfast, you’ll head towards the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, descending into the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera. Known for its high concentration of wildlife, including the rare black rhino, Ngorongoro offers unmatched game viewing. This natural amphitheatre is teeming with life—zebras, wildebeests, hyenas, and lions roam freely across the crater floor. You’ll enjoy a full-day game drive with a packed lunch in the crater. After an exhilarating day, return to camp, where stories are shared over a campfire dinner.

Day 3: Return to Arusha – Farewell to the Wild

Wake up to the sounds of the bush before enjoying a relaxed breakfast. Begin your return drive to Arusha, reflecting on the incredible wildlife, landscapes, and memories made. Upon arrival, you’ll be dropped off at your hotel or airport—ending your 3-day Tanzanian adventure with unforgettable moments etched in your heart.
