Day 1 – Arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport and transfer to Arusha
After you arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport, there will be a guide waiting for you. After meeting the guide, he will transfer you to Arusha where you will be able to rest in the hotel. If you have time you can visit Arusha and the local market.
Day 2 – Tarangire National Park
The safari starts today with our first game drive in Tarangire National Park, one of the most beautiful Tanzanian Parks. This Tanzanian park is famous for the herds of elephants, the African pythons able to climb on the trees, and the baobab trees.
Day 3 – Lake Manyara National Park
Early in the morning before breakfasts, we experience a bush walk with Maasai guides in the Wildlife Management Area next to Tarangire National Park. This area acts as a buffer zone between wildlife habitat and human settlements. After breakfast, we collect picnic lunches and proceed to Lake Manyara National Park for the game drive.
The Lake Manyara National Park is one of the parks with the highest biodiversity of flora and fauna. In an area of only 330 kilometers (of which 230 kilometers are occupied by the lake), there are five different ecosystems. The park is inhabited by over 380 types of birds and a big number of animal species, including elephants, buffalos, zebras, giraffes, leopards, lions, baboons, hippos, antelopes, warthogs, and so many others. Later in the evening, we drive to the lodge for dinner and overnight.
Day 4 – Ngorongoro Crater
Today we drive to Ngorongoro and descend to the crater where we explore Ngorongoro Crater and the surrounding area. This is one of the most evocative landscapes in the world where we can admire the dormant volcano and the nature that surrounds it. In the park, it will be possible to see the “Big Five:” elephants, buffalos, lions, leopards, and rhinos. However, you should pay attention to the 30,000 animals and a great variety of birds in that area.
Day 5 – Transfer to the airport
After breakfast if we have time we can experience a natural walk, later transfer to the airport.
