In the morning you depart from Arusha with picnic lunch
boxes and proceed to Tarangire National Park. This park has the
greatest concentration of wildlife outside the Serengeti
ecosystem – a smorgasbord of predators and the one place in
Tanzania where dry country antelope such as the stately fringed
eared Oryx and peculiar long necked gerenuk are regularly
observed. Drive in the park to explore some of the 300 elephants
scratch the dry river bed for underground streams, while
migratory wildebeest, zebra buffalo, impala, gazelle, hartebeest
and land crowd the shrinking lagoons. Afternoon break for picnic
lunch. Then continue with game drive. Leave Tarangire National
Park at 16:00hrs and proceed to Lake Manyara National Park for
dinner and overnight stay at one of the Lodges or Campsites near
the Park. After breakfast leave the lodge and drive
into Lake Manyara National Park. The park supports a variety of
habitats and a diversity of wildlife. Visit the natural hot
springs and try to observe the tree-climbing lions of Lake
Manyara National Park. In the afternoon return to your Lodge for
hot lunch. Leave Manyara and proceed to Ngorongoro for dinner
and overnight stay at one of the Lodges or Campsites. In the morning descend 610/2000ft
down to the crater floor, with picnic lunch and spend the day
game viewing. This collapsed volcano is home to a large
concentration of wildlife including lion, rhino, hippo, hyena
and elephant. In the afternoon take a short break to enjoy your
picnic lunch at the picnic site. In the late-afternoon ascend
the walls of the Crater climbing up to the rim, from where you
will start to drive back to Arusha |
