Itinerary
Day: 1
Tarangire national park
In the morning pick up from your hotel in arusha and drive to tarangire national park for game drives. 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 tanzanias dry season. The tarangire national park is reputed to contain some of the largest elephant herds in africa, from june-october. The fierce sun sucks the moisture from the landscape, baking the earth a dusty red, the withered grass as brittle as straw. 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. After a picnic lunch we do an afternoon game drive, where after we continue towards the crater, where you will overnight and enjoy your dinner at simba campsite.
Day: 2
Ngorongoro crater
Today, you will visit ngorongoro crater, the main feature of which is a large, unbroken, unfolded volcanic caldera. The crater, which formed when a giant volcano exploded and collapsed on itself some two to three million years ago, is mostly open grassland with two small wooded areas dominated by acacia xanthophloea. Game drives through the ngorongoro crater begin early in the morning in safari vehicles with pop-up roofs. The descent into the crater is one of scenic beauty, as you make your way through lush forests, home to numerous elephants and buffaloes. As you reach the inside of the crater, marveling at the incredible landscape around you, your guide will take you through the grassy crater floor, the unbelievable fever tree forest, the banks of lake magadi and the surrounding marshes. Lunch is served picnic style, surrounded by the natural wonders around you as well as the exceptional wildlife, roaming freely, with which you share this extraordinary paradise. After the picnic lunch, you will return back to arusha where you will be dropped off at your accommodation.
