On your arrival, one of our staff members will pick you from the Kilimanjaro International Airport and take you to your booked hotel/lodge, where you will get a short briefing about the tour.  We believe that you will enjoy your stay here and hope that your safari with Zoe will exceeds your expectations.

In the morning after you have taken your breakfast at around 6:00 am, your driver guide will arrive at the hotel and pick you up, ready to take you to Tarangire National Park. It takes approximately … hours to get to the Tarangire gate. Popularly known as the Elephant Playground, Tarangire has a lot to offer from its magnificent variety of wild animals and its huge area. A large population of Elephants find their home here.

Other animals like lion, buffalo, gazelle, zebra, and gnu are also found here. Expect to see many other mammals with amazing views like giraffes feeding from the beautiful acacia branches, zebras and gazelles hanging around together. Sometimes when lucky we get to see the pride of lions lying under trees, and if lucky enough, you might get to see cheetahs, onyx and kudu from the road stand-point.

So, what is it about Tarangire that makes it so unique? You are free to inquire. As the temperature changes, the agama male lizard, which changes colors right before your eyes, will leave you speechless. The hyrax - an elephant-like mammal also known as Pimbi - will brighten your day, among many other fantastic scenarios.

You won't pass many trees without spotting something that will intrigue your interest. A brilliant starling or a lilac-breasted roller may be a stunning splash of color. It's difficult not to laugh at the well-named, studious-looking secretary bird as it awkwardly pads over the grasslands.

Grand baobab trees, rolling grasslands, and acacia woodland are all well-known features of the Tarangire National Park. After a lengthy game drive and a picnic lunch, you'll depart the park for Karatu, a small town in the spectacular Ngorongoro highlands. One of the Lodges here will be your home for the night.

After taking your breakfast at the dawn, you will head to the Ngorongoro Crater, the world's biggest full volcanic crater and the heart of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. You sure wouldn’t want to miss out on anything in this elephant country. As they approach the end of their life, the big male tuskers come to feed the soft, swampland grasses on the side of the surrounding swampland, which is frequently referred to as the "elephant graveyard."

In the crater, there are about 120 lions with well-defined territories, as well as 15,000 gnu, 9,000 zebra, 400 hyenas, and roughly 50 black rhino. Many gnu and other herd animals reside here all year, taking advantage of the several sources of water available year-round and replenished by migrators during the mating season. Buffalo, Serval, jackal, Thomson's gazelle, and eland can also be found in great numbers. Hippos may be seen in pools and swamps, and the highland wildlife is vivid and plentiful around the water. Flamingos frequently visit Lake Magadi, which covers a portion of the crater floor. You'll have a 4-hour drive back to Arusha, covering 190.6 kilometers, after your morning game drive in this spectacular crater and lunch.
