Your itinerary

Day 1
Early Flight from Zanzibar to Arusha-Tarangire

Upon arrival at Arusha Airport or Kilimanjaro International Airport from Zanzibar, your driver-guide will meet you, and your safari will begin. The drive from Kilimanjaro Airport to Tarangire National Park takes approximately 3 hours, while from Arusha Airport, it takes about 2 hours. Tarangire National Park is spectacular in every season, with many migratory wildlife species gathering around the permanent waters of the Tarangire River. Large herds of wildebeest, zebras, elephants, elands, and oryx can be seen until the rains arrive, prompting them to migrate to fresh grazing areas. Enjoy dinner and an overnight stay at the lodge.

Day 2
Ngorongoro Crater

After breakfast, you will drive to the Ngorongoro Crater for a once-in-a-lifetime safari tour. The jewel in Ngorongoro’s crown, this thick volcanic crater is the most significant unflooded and unbroken caldera in the world. Upon descending to the crater floor, you will visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner of the crater, which is one of the crater’s leading features. A large number of flamingos, hippos, and other water birds can be seen here. You will enjoy lunch near the lake and then embark on an afternoon game drive inside the crater before ascending back to the lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.
