If time allows, you may take a short walk around Arusha or simply rest and prepare for your safari adventure.
Your adventure begins with an early morning departure to Tarangire National Park, a true gem of Tanzania’s northern circuit. Known for its towering baobab trees and large elephant herds, the park offers a rich variety of wildlife. You’ll explore open savannahs, acacia woodlands, and riverbanks alive with zebras, wildebeest, giraffes, and predators resting in the shade. Bird lovers will delight in spotting colorful species such as lilac-breasted rollers and yellow-collared lovebirds. In the evening, you will check in at Tarangire Osupuko Lodge, where you can enjoy dinner while the sounds of nature fill the night.
After breakfast, you set off for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, home to the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater. Descending into this vast natural amphitheater, you will find one of the highest concentrations of wildlife in Africa. The crater floor is home to grazing buffalo, playful hippos, flamingos wading in shallow waters, and the rare black rhino. Lions roam the open plains, while hyenas and jackals patrol the grasslands. After a full day of game viewing, you will drive back to Arusha, marking the end of your private safari with memories to last a lifetime.
This is an ideal way to cut down the costs as travelers in the group share the expenses on fuel, guides, etc. and at the same time share the experience with new friends.
