Life on Safari
We will pick you up from your hotel and after being familiar with the guide and chef, you will drive to Tarangire National Park (2 hour drive) famous for its diverse landscape. The park is particularly known for its abundance of ancient baobab trees and having the largest concentration of elephants in the whole country. It provides unique chances to observe the interaction between elephant families. You will do a game drive through the park depending on where they have reported sightings of animals (mostly predators, lions, cheetahs, and leopards as they are harder to spot) as herbivores (giraffes, wildebeest, zebras, etc. are plenty to see through the park.
Later on, you will go to the Tarangire River picnic site and enjoy the beautiful view of the river and animals while having lunch. Small monkeys and baboons will try to scare you off your lunch but there is nothing to worry about.
The Serengeti is very large, it covers 14,750 square kilometres (5,700 sq mi), famous for wildebeest and zebra migration (over 1.5 million wildebeest and 250000 zebras). These animals are on a strategic partnership for their survival.

The Ngorongoro Crater is the best wildlife park in Tanzania. This is due to its beautiful landscape being the crater and easier to see wildlife. After an early breakfast, you will head to the Ngorongoro viewpoint and look at this amazing view. The view is surreal and breathtaking. You will then proceed to descend the crater on a journey to find the black rhinos. Rhinos are the hardest to spot in the beautiful crater as most animals will be easier to spot from this park due to it being a crater floor. The Ngorongoro Crater is the highlighted park in Tanzania. It is the most beautiful scenery and it is populated with a lot of animals, the crater itself is self-sufficient for the animals inside so they don’t migrate out of the crater.
After lunch, you will do a game drive and ascend the crater pack for the trip back to your hotel in Arusha.
Materuni is the home of the Chagga community and is still an authentic village. This charming place is just 15km away from Moshi Town and is the last village before the Kilimanjaro National Park.
