Highlights
Day-by-Day Itinerary
MOSHI/ARUSHA TO TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK
In the morning, you will be picked up from your hotel in Moshi/Arusha and drive to Tarangire National Park, which is known for its huge baobab trees and large herds of elephants.

Migratory wildebeest, zebra and buffalo can also be seen crowding the shrinking lagoons. This African national park is also home to three rare species of animals – the Greater Kudu, the Fringed-eared Oryx, as well as a few Ashy Starlings. Here you will enjoy an afternoon game drive with a picnic lunch late evening drive to your accommodation.

Supported by year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro Crater supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque national park is its dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot.
