Day 1: Arrival
Upon your arrival, you will be picked up from Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) and transferred to your hotel in Arusha.
Day 2: Arusha City - Tarangire National Park
After breakfast and a briefing, you will be picked up from your accommodation in Arusha by your driver guide and depart for Tarangire National Park where you will have a game drive. You will spend the night at Sunbright Campsite. Tarangire embodies streams and low-lying hills on the nice valley floor. Its natural vegetation consists mainly of solid ground with trees, big African Adansonia Digitata trees, and big swamp areas.
Each of the streams, and therefore the swamps, act as a sort of magnet for the native wildlife throughout the African landscape. Tarangire National Park is home to three rare species of animals, the koudou, the fringed-eared pasang, and the ash-grey starlings.
Day 3: Ngorongoro Crater - Arusha City
After an early breakfast, depart for Ngorongoro and descend into the crater floor for a game drive. In the afternoon, ascend to the rim for Arusha. Ngorongoro Crater is located 190 kilometers from Arusha, with a diameter of 19.2 kilometers, a depth of 610 meters, and a total length of 304 square kilometers. You can find lions, leopards, buffaloes, and elephants sleeping in this glorious volcanic crater, and plenty of flamingos on the Soda Lake. Geese, storks, and vultures can also be observed.
Have a break for lunch at Ngoitoktok picnic site. Ngorongoro Crater is a large extinct volcano. Its high tree-lined walls drop thousands of feet into a Noah’s Ark of animals on the abundant floor below. Nowhere else will such a marvelous diversity of wildlife be found in such a brief amount of time.
