Itineraries
Day 0
Time : 2:00 am
Arrival in Tanzania or from the mountain
If you returned from the mountain, you are all set. Otherwise, our representative will meet and pick you up at the Kilimanjaro International Airport and drive you to lodge in Arusha/Moshi for dinner, meet and greeting your guide for briefing and sleep.
Day 1
Time : 7:00 am
Moshi/Arusha to Tarangire
After breakfast, your driver/guide will be ready to pick you. You will drive to Tarangire National Park for a game drive. The park runs along the line of the Tarangire River and is mainly made up of low-lying hills on the Great Rift Valley floor. Its natural vegetation mainly consists of Acacia woodland and giant African Baobab trees, with huge swamp areas in the south. Both the river and the swamps act like a magnet for wild animals, during Tanzania’s dry season. The Tarangire National Park is reputed to contain some of the largest elephant herds in Africa. This African national park is also home to three rare species of animals – the Greater Kudu, the Fringed-eared Oryx, as well as a few Ashy Starlings. We eat lunch at picnic after which we continue with game until late evening, then drive to the public campsite for dinner, briefing and sleep.
Day 2
Time : 7:00 am
Tarangire Park to Lake Manyara Park - sleep Simba campsite in Ngorongoro crater rim
Drive to Lake Manyara National Park, which takes about 1:30 hours for game drive At Lake Manyara when you approach it from the East Rift Valley escarpment looms on the horizon forming an impressive back droid to the lake. In the tall trees of the groundwater forest, monkeys leap from branch to branch, on the escarpment elephants stand in the shade of a baobab. Other animals frequently seen are zebras, impalas, monkeys, giraffes, buffalos, hippos, and others. Late afternoon you will drive to Ngorongoro crater for dinner, briefing and sleep.
Day 3
Time : 8:00 am
Ngorongoro crater and drive to Arusha/Moshi
After early breakfast, we will descend over 600 meters into the crater to view wildlife for a half day’s safari tour. Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro National Park supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque national park, its dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot. We will visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, which is one of the main features of the crater. A large number of flamingos, hippos, and other water birds can usually be seen here.
After lunch, we will start ascending from the crater and drive back to Arusha or Moshi.
