Day 2
Arusha to Tarangire National Park National Park
We will pick you up from your hotel at 7:30 am, and once we meet your guide, we will travel the two hours to Tarangire, which is well-known for its varied landscape. The park offers exceptional opportunities to witness the interactions between elephant families and is especially well-known for its profusion of ancient baobab trees and the highest concentration of elephants in the entire nation. As herbivores (giraffes, wildebeests, zebras, etc.) are abundant throughout the park, we will conduct a game drive based on reported sightings of animals (primarily predators, lions, cheetahs, & leopards, as they are tougher to observe).

Later on, we'll head to the river picnic site to enjoy the lovely view of the river and animals while eating lunch. A few small monkeys and baboons may try to scare you away from your food, but don't worry—after lunch, we'll go on a game drive and leave the park at around 5:30 p.m., arriving at our lodge for dinner and sleep.

Day 5
Ngorongoro crater
We will leave our lodge early in the morning to drive down the Rift Valley to the lower, cooler Ngorongoro highlands. Approximately two to three million years ago, a gigantic volcano, larger than Kilimanjaro, erupted, creating the Ngorongoro Crater, the largest volcanic crater on Earth. It is roughly 600 meters deep and nearly 20 kilometers broad. Numerous species of animals, including the Big Five (lions, elephants, buffalos, rhinos, and leopards), can be found in the crater. It is regarded as one of the world's natural marvels. The numerous springs draw more than 500 different bird species, including gazelles, reedbuck, and wildebeest, in addition to the Big Five. After eating our delicious lunch at the picnic area, we will continue to watch wildlife in the crater. In the afternoon, we will drive up the narrow, steep slope that leads out of the crater and return to Arusha. Our adventure ends when we get there.
