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

In the morning after you have taken your breakfast at around 6:00 am, your tour 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 finds 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.

Breakfast will be served before departing the Tarangire Area for Lake Manyara National Site, another park on the Northern Circuit, makes it a great safari destination. Here, along with elephant herds and plains game, you’ll find jungle-like forests that are home to blue monkeys, a soda lake tinged pink by flamingos and some of Tanzania’s best birding. Manyara is well-known for its stunning lake and runs along the Rift Valley Escarpment. It is abundant in both flora and fauna. Relish the beauty and stillness as dressed in a pink flamingos flutter over the shallow, alkaline waters, searching for algae to munch. Over 400 different species of birds have been observed onsite, varying from bee-eaters to hornbills and all in between.

Also look out for yellow-billed storks and pink-backed pelicans if you visit between February and June. Manyara's geography is confined, yet it has a variety of ecosystems, including different woods nourished by rivers seeping from the surrounding escarpment. Monkeys abound, but keep an eye out for lions, giraffes, warthogs, and cranky Cape buffalo, all of which are proud residents of this park. When you arrive at the hippo pool, keep your nose to the ground since these large semi-aquatic creatures stink! After an extended game drive – and, of course, 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."

The Ngorongoro crater is known for its huge number of many animals. Statistic shows that there are roughly 9,000 zebra, as well as 15,000 gnu,120 lions with well-defined territories, 400 hyenas, and approximately 50 black rhino. Many gnus and other herd animals reside here year-round, taking use of the multiple water sources that are available all year and are fed by migrators during the mating season. There are eland, Serval, jackal, Thomson's gazelle, and buffalo. Hippos are commonly seen in ponds and marshes. The highlands' vegetation and animals are lively and numerous around water. Flamingos flock to Lake Magadi, which covers a section of the crater floor. After your morning game drive and lunch in this stunning crater, you'll have a 190.6-kilometer trip back to Arusha that will take roughly 4 hours.
