Itinerary
Day 1:Arusha - Tarangire National Park
In the morning you will be picked up from your hotel and after a short briefing you set off to the Tarangire National Park. ‘The Elephant Playground,’ as Tarangire is sometimes called, provides a spectacular destination for a memorable game drive. Huge herds of elephants are a distinctive feature of Tarangire, but the grassland, swamps, and floodplains found here are home to big cats, giraffe, baboons, and hippo – plus many, many more species. Tree-climbing lions and rock pythons are other local specialties. Around evening you will leave the Tarangire and head to the Lodge/Camp, where you will spend the night.
Accommodation: Tarangire Tortilis Camp
Meals: Lunch & Dinner
Day 2:Tarangire - Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, you will drive towards the fertile crater highlands where the farmers grow wheat, corn, and coffee. You will pass the Ngorongoro Crater before you reach the plains of the Serengeti National Park around midday. You will spend the night at the Tented Camp/Lodge.
Accommodation: Serengeti Tortilis Camp

Day 3:Serengeti - Ngorongoro Crater
Dawn is a good time to watch wildlife and so you will be up early to join an early morning game drive. You will return to the camp for breakfast before heading out for another game drive in the park. After a picnic lunch, you will continue your journey towards the Ngorongoro Crater. Once you have reached the crater rim you will enjoy fantastic views of this 600 m deep collapsed volcano. Your lodge is situated on the crater's edge, making for some fantastic photography.

Day 4:Ngorongoro Crater - Arusha
After an early breakfast, you will drive down the steep and narrow road that takes you into the crater. The slopes are forested but soon the landscape changes to savannah.

After a morning dedicated to game viewing and a picnic lunch, you will leave the crater in the early afternoon to drive back to Arusha, where you will arrive in the early evening.
