Arusha is the safari capital of the country and a bustling tourism-driven city. Your driver-guide will meet you in Arusha or at Arusha Airport. Together, you will begin the transfer to Tarangire National Park. The name of the park originates from the Tarangire River, which crosses the park and is the primary source of fresh water for wildlife. This quiet park is famous for its elephant migration, birdlife, and authentic safari atmosphere. You'll have a packed lunch at midday. At the end of the afternoon’s game drive, you will make your way to Ang'ata Tarangire Camp, which is inside the park, and have your night there.

Day 3
Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha
Be sure to wake up early today so there is no delay on your descent into the famous Ngorongoro Crater. As soon as you arrive in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, you will be amazed by the beauty around you. Even more so when you arrive at the crater's edge and take in the fantastic view over one of the natural wonders of this world. The crater of this inactive volcano is approximately 3 million years old, 20km² in size, and the largest unbroken volcanic caldera in the world. Due to its natural borders, the wildlife in the crater is amazing. The crater is home to the Big Five and offers an excellent chance to spot the rare black rhino. Throw hyenas, zebras, buffalo, and elephants into the mix, and you have the perfect canvas for a pretty awesome safari experience! At the end of the afternoon, after exploring this park with its groundwater forest, you will commence the drive back to Arusha in your hotel, where it all started, at mid-afternoon.

We did the Manyara Gane Drive and it was perfect from beginning to end. The guide was a great tracker leading us to a range of animals and gave us all the background information. Skdo parked in good spots to get pictures. 10 out of 10.

Beyond expectations
From day 1, Antonia was super helpful helping us plan this trip. She answered my million questions and explained everything very detailed to make sure my trip was just as I wanted and kept communication going the whole time. Since we arrived in Tanzania the service we received from Serengeti African tours was 5 stars. Our accommodation was super comfortable, we had great food every day and all the staff always super friendly. Our tour guide Gift was the best, he knew all about the animals and was always finding the spots to get us the best views. Super helpful at all times and always encouraging us to ask the right questions and making us remember the animals we saw. Overall everything was beyond expectations and we would do it again a million times. Asante sana.

Amazing
As nature lovers, this safari has been a turning point in our lives. A unique and unforgettable experience where the animals come to see you, not the other way around—this is when you truly realize what real freedom is. It’s true that luck plays a role, but having such an experienced guide like Mathew allowed us to enjoy the trip to the fullest and have truly incredible encounters. My favorite moment was when a pregnant leopard calmly decided to visit us right next to the 4x4. Situations like that only happen when the driver knows how to handle the vehicle and always maintains respect for wildlife. He also explained every detail about the parks and was very open with us—we had a great time! A 100% recommended experience.

Perfectly organized tour. The office staff was always available. Our guide, Rashid, was wonderful, extremely knowledgeable, and always smiling. We saw every type of animal imaginable. An unforgettable experience.
