Itinerary

Arusha
Arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport. Once immigration procedures and luggage collection are completed, we will meet a representative of the agency, who will indicate our transfer to the hotel in Arusha. Rooms may not be available before 14:00 hours.
Arusha has established itself as the capital of northern Tanzania and a starting point for most safaris in the northern part of the country. Located at the foot of Mount Meru, the second-highest mountain in Tanzania, thanks to its temperate climate and lively, exuberant atmosphere, Arusha has become the ideal place for a first contact with the country.
The rest of the day is free. Depending on the arrival time of the international flight, we will have free time to rest or the possibility of adding an additional excursion or visit.

Arusha - Tarangire National Park
Breakfast at the lodge and free morning.
Free lunch and, at 14:00, departure to Tarangire National Park, known for its herds of elephants, where we will do a photo safari on the way to the lodge.
Tarangire National Park is a majestic national park covering granite ridges, river valleys, and rich wildlife. During the annual dry season, the Tarangire River attracts thirsty wildlife. Large herds of elephants and migratory wildebeests, zebras, buffaloes, impalas, and gazelles gather, and it is not surprising that predators follow them closely. Tarangire is also the only place in Tanzania where arid antelopes such as oryx and gerenuk are regularly seen. This vast area is also famous for its spectacular baobab trees, stunning views of the Masai steppe, and the wonderful mountains to the south.

Karatu - Ngorongoro - Manyara Lake
After an early morning breakfast, departure to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and descent to the bottom of the Ngorongoro Crater for a safari inside. Picnic lunch to extend the safari experience.
Located in northern Tanzania, the Ngorongoro Crater is known for its natural beauty and abundant wildlife. Therefore, it has become one of the most popular safari destinations in Africa. Surrounded by the highlands of Tanzania, this crater is said to be the largest intact volcanic caldera in the world. Safaris are excellent year-round, and the diversity of landscapes and wildlife inside is incredible: the savannah merges with wetlands, rivers, bushes, and provides refuge to black-maned lions, cheetahs, buffaloes, elephants, leopards, and many other species.
Once we leave the crater, we will head to our lodge in the Manyara area.
