-
The park is famous for its high count of elephants, baobab trees, and Tarangire river. Visitors of the park in June to November dry season can expect to see large herds of thousands of zebra, wildebeest, and Cape buffalo. Other common resident animals include waterbucks, giraffes, dik-diks, impalas, gazelles, velvet monkeys, banded mongoose, and olive baboons.

Day 2: Ngorongoro Crater.
-
Ngorongoro Conservation Area is in northern Tanzania. It’s home to the vast, volcanic Ngorongoro Crater and hosts the “big 5” game (elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino). Huge herds of wildebeests and zebras traverse its plains during their annual migration.
-
Early in the morning after breakfast, proceed directly to the Crater floor for a full-day crater tour (Hot lunch included).
-
The Ngorongoro crater is one of the few places in Tanzania where you are likely to see the endangered black rhino as a small population of them reside in this protected area. Many Flamingoes are also attracted to the soda waters of Lake Magadi.
-
The crater is about 600 meters deep and has a floor area of about 260 square kilometers thereby making it the largest dormant caldera in the world.
-
The most ideal time to visit Ngorongoro is from June to October during the dry season since it becomes easier to spot many animals during this season because there is less greenery.
-
After the whole day of the game drive, we will head back to Arusha, we will drop you off at your accommodation or the Airport we can be flexible with time depending on your flight schedule.
