Day 11: After a relaxed breakfast at the camp, the day will be spent exploring Tarangire National Park on further game drives.
Renowned as a prime birdwatching location, Tarangire National Park is also home to a large concentration of wildlife, particularly in the dry season when animals are drawn to the Tarangire River, the area’s only water source. The park’s landscape is equally captivating, dotted with magnificent baobab trees that enhance the scenic beauty.
In the late afternoon, you will be transferred to Nasikia Mandhari Lodge for your overnight stay.
Day 12: After an early breakfast, transfer to the Ngorongoro Crater and descend into this breathtaking natural wonder for a game drive. The crater is home to an incredible concentration of wildlife, including Africa’s renowned Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, rhinoceros, and Cape buffalo. As you explore the diverse landscapes of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, you’ll have the opportunity to witness these magnificent animals in their natural habitat, all protected through Tanzania’s dedicated conservation efforts.
Late afternoon transfer to Arusha for overnight at The Outpost Lodge.
