Day 1: Zanzibar → Tarangire National Park
Your adventure begins early with a scenic flight to Arusha (arrival ~9:00–9:20 AM), where your expert guide will greet you and take you on a 2-hour drive through Maasai country en route to Tarangire National Park.
Known for its massive baobab trees and large elephant herds, Tarangire is a spectacle of wildlife, especially during the dry season when animals flock to the Tarangire River. Keep your camera ready for lions, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest—and maybe even a leopard!
Enjoy a riverside picnic lunch and an afternoon game drive before heading to your luxury lodge nestled in the Ngorongoro Highlands. Accommodation: Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge
Day 2: Ngorongoro Crater Safari → Return to Zanzibar
Wake up early for a sunrise descent into the Ngorongoro Crater, one of Africa’s most iconic safari locations. With its steep walls and lush floor, the Crater is a natural amphitheater teeming with wildlife, including lions, hippos, zebras, elephants, and the critically endangered black rhino.
Enjoy a scenic picnic lunch at the hippo pool, then begin your return journey. Your guide will transfer you to Arusha or Kilimanjaro Airport in time for your evening flight back to Zanzibar.
