Tarangire is famous for its vast elephant herds and diverse wildlife, including wildebeest, buffalo, zebra, giraffe, lions, and even leopards resting in the trees. From the open roof of your safari jeep, you will enjoy sweeping views of the savannah, seasonal swamps, and the life-giving Tarangire River. In the evening, you will head to your lodge for dinner, relaxation by the pool, and overnight rest.

An early morning start takes you to the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Africa’s Seven Natural Wonders. After descending 600 meters into the caldera, you will explore a unique ecosystem teeming with over 25,000 animals.

From the iconic Big Five (lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo, and leopard) to hyenas, wildebeest, zebras, and more than 500 bird species, the crater offers unparalleled wildlife viewing. A picnic lunch will be enjoyed within the crater before heading back to Karatu for dinner and overnight.
