Program

Day 1: Arrival in Arusha

Upon landing at Kilimanjaro International Airport, your Pita Safaris adventure begins. Their representative will warmly greet you and facilitate your transfer to a cozy hotel in Arusha. Set against the backdrop of Mount Meru, Arusha offers a tranquil environment to unwind and prepare for the exciting days ahead. Spend the evening at leisure, perhaps taking a stroll through the vibrant town or simply relaxing in anticipation of the wildlife encounters that await.

Day 2: Tarangire National Park

Today, you delve into the wilderness of Tarangire National Park, renowned for its high density of elephants and majestic baobab trees. After breakfast, you set out on a scenic drive to Tarangire, where the untamed bush beckons. An afternoon game drive reveals the park's diverse inhabitants, from wandering herds of buffalo to prowling lions.

As dusk falls, you retire to your campsite within the park. Underneath the starlit sky, your guide will set up camp, and you'll experience the thrill of camping in the wild, recounting the day's sightings and savoring a meal prepared over the campfire. Dinner and overnight stay at Twiga Campsite, or somewhere comparable.

A day of exploration awaits, with a game drive to witness the park’s famous tree-climbing lions and large flocks of flamingos adorning the alkaline lake. The lush groundwater forest and expansive grasslands offer a stark contrast to the previous day's terrain.

Following an eventful day among the rich biodiversity, you set up camp on the outskirts of the park. There, you can reflect on the day’s adventures and enjoy a night under the stars, enveloped by the sounds of the African wilderness.

Location

Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park is one of the best tourist destinations in the Northern Circuit Parks in Tanzania which is famous for its elephant migration and birding safari. It has a huge concentration of animals in the peak months and a fraction of the visitor numbers of any of the other northern parks. From July to October, which are the best months to visit, the concentration of animals around the Tarangire River is almost as diverse and reliable as in the Ngorongoro Crater.

Lake Manyara National Park

Lake Manyara National Park is one of Tanzania’s most dramatically located wildlife areas, consisting of a shallow but huge soda lake, at the foot of the Great Rift Valley’s western escarpment. The national park extends over 330 square kilometers of the northern Rift Valley floor in the southwest of Arusha. Its centerpiece is Lake Manyara which is a fluctuating body of alkaline water set within a shallow sump at the base of the Rift Valley.

Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro Crater has a deep, volcanic crater as well as the leading unflooded and unbroken caldera in the world. The crater lies 20 kilometers across, 600 meters deep, and 300 square kilometers in area. This place also has wonderful natural wondrous attractions.
