Conclude with a visit to a Maasai village, where you’ll experience their rich culture and traditions. This adventure offers a perfect mix of nature and local heritage, creating unforgettable memories. Day 1: Tarangire National Park Tarangire National Park, located in northern Tanzania, is a hidden gem known for its diverse wildlife and stunning landscapes. Spanning 2,600 square kilometers, the park is famous for its iconic baobab trees and large elephant herds, often seen roaming the plains. With a variety of habitats, from woodlands to swamps, Tarangire offers an excellent opportunity to witness a wide range of animals, including zebras, giraffes, wildebeests, lions, and over 500 species of birds. The park is also less crowded than other Tanzanian parks, providing a more intimate safari experience. During the dry season, the Tarangire River becomes a vital water source, attracting numerous animals, making it a prime spot for game viewing. Whether you’re exploring on game drives or enjoying the serene beauty of the landscape, Tarangire promises an unforgettable adventure full of nature’s wonders. It’s the perfect destination for wildlife enthusiasts looking for an authentic and tranquil safari experience. Day 2: Ngorongoro Crater Have a timely start to the day to ensure that you arrive at the Ngorongoro Crater promptly – it is beneficial to leave early as it is a good time to spot animals. Enjoy a magnificent game drive with a picnic lunch inside the Crater. Migration in and out of the crater is infrequent due to its elevated structure which means there is a high chance of spotting every member of ‘The Big 5’. This powerful group comprises of buffalo, lions, elephants, rhinos, lions and leopards. Nearly three million years ago a colossal volcano exploded and the crater was molded into the spectacular shape we witness today. You can also expect to encounter zebra, hippo, wildebeest and hyena roaming around the caldera. Flamingos and geese can be found lounging around the Soda Lake, other birds include storks and vultures. Be astonished by your guide’s ability to locate hidden animals. Drive back to the Ngedere Lodge overnight. Day 3: Maasai Village Travel to the Maasai Steppe for the final element of your journey. Share a cultural experience with the most renowned community in East Africa – the Maasai. The Maasai are highly fascinating due to the fact that they have preserved their culture and still uphold the values of their ancestors. Have a chance to witness a ritual performance that includes singing and dancing. After an exhilarating day spent with the Maasai tribe, drive back to Moshi or Arusha. Transportation to the airport can be arranged on request.
