Welcome to Tanzania! Our driver meets you at Kilimanjaro International Airport and takes you to your hotel in Arusha. Relax after your flight and meet your guide for a short safari briefing. Overnight in Arusha.
After breakfast, drive about two hours to Tarangire National Park, famous for its giant baobabs and large elephant herds.

Descend early into the Ngorongoro Crater, a vast volcanic caldera with an estimated 25,000 animals. Search for black rhino, lion prides, elephants, hyenas and the flamingos of Lake Magadi. Picnic lunch by the hippo pool, then climb out of the crater in the afternoon.
