Embark on a 4-day safari from Arusha and see some of the best Tanzania has to offer. Experience breathtaking wildlife amid some of the most diverse landscapes, from monkeys in the forest to lions in trees, and elephants among acacias. Visit Tarangire and Lake Manyara National Parks and drive into the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater.

On the first day, be picked up from the airport and driven to your accommodation in Arusha. Overnight and relax in anticipation of the adventures at Villa Poa Hotel in Arusha.

On the second day, be collected from your accommodation in Arusha by your safari guide. The drive to Tarangire is on a good tarmac road, across the gently rolling Masai plains with scattered acacia trees. En route, pass many Maasais in their colorful dresses walking on the roadside, riding bicycles, herding their cattle, and driving donkey's carts.

Tarangire National Park is well known for its large elephant herds. From the open roof of the vehicle, experience the seasonal swamps, savanna, and the Tarangire River. Go in search of many animals including zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, elephant, and giraffe. Catch a glimpse of a lion stalking its prey or leopards watching and relaxing in the trees above.

After an extensive game drive, having experienced the various sights and sounds of the wilderness, leave the park and head to your partner hotel. Enjoy dinner and an overnight stay.

On the third day, after an early breakfast, drive through the Rift Valley to the cooler regions of the Ngorongoro Highlands. The Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest volcanic caldera, is almost 20 km wide, and approximately 610 m deep. It is known for its large variety of wildlife, including the “Big Five” – lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard.

In addition to the Big Five, the various springs attract animals such as wildebeest, gazelles, reedbucks, and more than 500 bird species. At a picnic site, have lunch before enjoying some more game viewing in the crater. Leave the crater in the afternoon, drive up the steep road out of the crater, and return to the hotel.

On the fourth day, after breakfast, drive to Lake Manyara National Park, a small but diverse park 120 km west of Arusha. The park’s namesake is a shallow salt lake. It covers a large area of the park, flooding and drying with the seasons, and is home to thousands of flamingos and over 500 other bird species.

On your exploration of the park, see monkeys, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, buffalo, elephants, and with some luck, lions lounging in the trees. In the afternoon, return to Arusha.
