Upon gate registration, embark on your initial game drives right from the park’s entrance, guided by your knowledgeable safari companion. Tarangire National Park is renowned for its impressive herds of elephants, sometimes numbering up to 300, and ancient baobab trees, some dating back over a millennium.

Black rhinos, in particular, are more visible in the morning, often closer to the game viewing tracks and seeking shelter in thicker forested areas as the day progresses. To maximize your chances of encountering a variety of diurnal and nocturnal animals, an early departure with a packed breakfast ensures that you are among the first to descend to the Crater floor.

The Ngorongoro Crater is renowned for its rich diversity of animals and birds, observable at remarkably close range.

Following a morning filled with awe-inspiring wildlife encounters, enjoy a well-deserved lunch before departing the Crater floor in the afternoon.
