DAY-WISE ITINERAR
Day 1: Arusha to Tarangire National Park
You will be picked up from your hotel in Arusha at 08:30 am and drive on a tarmac road for 120 km to
Tarangire National Park (2,850 sq. km) where you will start your first game drive. It’s the greatest
concentration of wildlife outside the Serengeti ecosystem. The swamps, tinged green year-round, are
the focus of 550 bird varieties, the most breeding species in one habitat anywhere in the world. After
lunch, you will continue with afternoon game viewing in the park. The park is home to lion, leopard,
elephant, buffalo, python, zebra, oryx, impala, and more. On drier ground, you will find the kori bustard
(the heaviest flying bird), the stocking-thighed ostrich (the world’s largest bird), and small parties of
ground hornbills blustering like turkeys. More ardent bird lovers must keep an eye open for screeching
flocks of the dazzlingly colorful yellow-collared lovebird, and the somewhat drabber rufous-tailed
weaver and ashy starling.
Day 2: Ngorongoro Crater - Arusha
Wake up early for breakfast, and then drive to the Ngorongoro Crater at 07:00 am where you will
descend to the crater floor (19.2 km diameter, 610 m deep, 304 sq. km) for game drives. All of the Big
Five (rhino, lion, leopard, buffalo, and elephant), as well as many more mammals, live in this wonderful
caldera. Birds include flamingos on Soda Lake, geese, storks, vultures, etc. You will break for lunch at the
Ngoitoktok Springs picnic site. The Ngorongoro Crater is often called "Africa’s Eden" and the "8th
Natural Wonder of the World". A massive extinct volcano, its towering tree-lined walls drop thousands
of feet to a “Noah’s Ark” of animals on the verdant floor below. This breathtaking oasis provides a haven
for both predator and prey to live among grasslands, fresh springs, and the large soda lake. Nowhere
else can such a diversity in wildlife be experienced in such a short period. After the game drive in the
afternoon, you will return to Panorama campsite for dinner and overnight.
Day 3: Lake Manyara National Park
Today, you will drive to Lake Manyara National Park. This small park is a paradise for serious and
amateur bird lovers, as this small park is home to over 400 species of birds, including flamingos,
pelicans, storks, and cormorants. Many mammals, such as bushbuck, waterbuck, wildebeest, zebra,
baboon, monkey, lion, and leopard can be seen roaming the forest and the acacia-dotted plains of the
park. You will have an unhindered view of the surroundings as the safari vehicle’s roof can open to allow
you the best angle for photography. After an extensive game drive in the park, you will leave the park in
the afternoon.
