2 Days Safari

Arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO)

You will be picked up at the Kilimanjaro International Airport and transferred to the hotel in Moshi town. This day you will meet your guide who will brief you on your upcoming trip

Arusha - Lake Manyara Non-game viewing travel time: 21/2 hours Distance: 130km

Pick up at 07:30 am from your hotel in Moshi/ Arusha and transfer to Tarangire NP – spend your day on a game viewing experience; then transfer to your lodge for dinner and overnight.

Tarangire is best known for its elephant viewing. A wide range of other grazers frequent the part’s red-dirt plains, which are studded with ancient baobabs and buttressed termite mounds, and bisected by the palm-lined Tarangire River. Meanwhile, a checklist of 550 bird species ensures that Tarangire is often rated as the top ornithological destination on the northern circuit. The least celebrated of the quartet of reserves that comprise Tanzania’s peerless northern safari circuit, the 2,600 sq km Tarangire National Park stands at the epicentre of a semi-arid migratory ecosystem ten times as large.

The park comes into its own when the dry season kicks in, and the nomadic herds of game that normally range across the vast Maasai Steppes congregate in the vicinity of the Tarangire River, the region’s only perennial water source. For most visitors, the dense elephant population is the main attraction – especially during the dry season, when aggregations of several hundred can be observed at the river.

Others are Wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, impala and hartebeest all cramming into the area during the dry season. Tarangire is the one place in Tanzania where the stately fringe-eared oryx and rubber-necked gerenuk are seen with any regularity. Large carnivores are less visible than in some national parks, but Tarangire’s lions and leopards are often seen lounging in trees, revealing their presence with a telltale tail twitch. Tarangire’s impressive bird checklist is headed by the endemic ashy starling, rufous-tailed weaver and yellow-throated lovebird, and is also notable for a wide range of raptors.

Dinner and overnight as per the standard and type of accommodation option requested.

Lake Manyara National Park – Ngorongoro Crater – Arusha

Depart early in the morning heading to Ngorongoro Crater, the UNESCO’s World Heritage and one of the 7 Wonders of Africa! Engage on an unforgettable game drive in the crater floor; The largest intact caldera in the World. The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most densely crowded African wildlife areas in the world and is home to a permanent population of more than 30,000 animals inhabit a mere 260 km² (100 square miles) in the 600 m (2 000 ft) deep crater, including some of Tanzania’s last remaining black rhino making this one of the few places in Africa where guests stand a great chance of seeing the entire Big Five in the course of a single game drive.

The Ngorongoro National Park supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque national park is the dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the ever- elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot.

After this beautiful half day then we are leaving in early afternoon for your transfer back to Moshi/ Arusha where you can spend an extra night or drive straight to the JRO Airport to catch your evening departure flight where we will end our African safari adventure.

The group should tip the tour guide around $20 a day for all our safaris. You will be taken to your hotel, which ends our safari packages services.
