Arusha - Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park - Distance: 120km, ETA: 2 hours
Wildlife Viewing Time: 6 hours
Activities: Game Drives

Begin your journey with a pick-up from your hotel in Arusha and travel 120km (approximately 2 hours) on a paved road to Tarangire National Park. This park is home to unique dry-country antelope, including the rare fringe-eared oryx and the distinctive long-necked gerenuk. The southern swampy areas provide excellent wildlife viewing opportunities, featuring wallowing elephants and buffalo, the Silale Swamp lion pride, and occasionally wild dogs. Large pythons may be spotted in trees as the swamps dry. Enjoy lunch at a picnic site and continue with game drives until check-out time. Afterward, proceed to the camp for an overnight stay.

Lake Eyasi (Bushmen & Blacksmiths Experience)

Lake Eyasi - Distance: 75km, ETA: 1.5 hours
Activities Time: 6 hours
Activities: Cultural Experience

Depart early in the morning to the villages for an authentic hunting and gathering experience with the Hadzabe (hunter-gatherer Bushmen) and Datoga (blacksmiths) tribes. The Bushmen depend on their foraging skills for survival, and you will need to be attentive and sometimes very quiet as they demonstrate their animal tracking abilities and the use of locally made poisons to incapacitate their prey. Later, visit their homesteads to learn about their lifestyle, medicinal plants, and more. Dinner and overnight at the camp.

Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro Crater - Distance: 75km, ETA: 2 hours
Wildlife Viewing Time: 6 hours
Activities: Game Drives

After an early breakfast, travel to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and descend into the Ngorongoro Crater. This crater, measuring 19.2km in diameter, 610m deep, and covering 304 sq km, is one of the most densely populated wildlife areas globally and is home to some of Tanzania’s last remaining black rhinos. Its large predator population is another major attraction in this stunning crater. With a year-round water supply and abundant fodder, this beautiful oasis provides a sanctuary for both predators and prey to thrive among the grasslands. After game drives, head to the camp for an overnight stay.

Lake Manyara National Park - Lake Natron Area

Lake Manyara National Park - Distance: 110km, ETA: 2.5 hours
Wildlife Viewing Time: 6 hours
Activities: Game Drives

Following breakfast, drive to Lake Manyara National Park. The park features a vast but shallow soda lake at the base of the Great Rift Valley’s western escarpment. Its diverse habitat attracts a wide range of animals, including one of Africa’s largest elephant populations, Manyara’s unique tree-climbing lions, and large flocks of flamingos. Manyara is a scenic treasure, praised by Ernest Hemingway as “the loveliest I had seen in Africa.” From the entrance gate, blue monkeys dart between ancient mahogany trees, dainty bushbucks tread cautiously through the shadows, and oversized forest hornbills honk loudly in the high canopy. After game drives, travel to Lake Natron for an overnight stay.
