Day 1: Arusha
Pick up from Kilimanjaro Airport and transfer to Arusha.
-
Day 2: Tarangire National Park
Depart for Tarangire, have lunch in Tarangire Park, and set off for a game drive in Tarangire National Park. This park is dominated by the silhouettes of Great Baobab trees and is an untouched haven for wildlife. (approx. 200 miles) and herds of up to 300 elephants search the dry river bed for underground streams.
Also, see migratory wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, impala, gazelle, hartebeest, and eland crowd the shrinking lagoons. It is the greatest concentration of wildlife outside the Serengeti ecosystem.

Day 3: Arusha - Lake Manyara
After breakfast, depart to Manyara with a picnic lunch on the way.
Go for an afternoon game drive in this scenic park set around Lake Manyara, most famous for the tree-climbing lions. It is a bird watcher's paradise.
Marvel at the variety of species, spoonbill, teal, pelican, kingfisher, hornbill and cormorant. In the tall trees, forest monkeys leap from branch to branch on the slope of the Great Rift escarpment, and elephants stand in the shade of the baobab.

Day 6: Serengeti - Ngorongoro Crater
After breakfast, drive to Ngorongoro Crater rim and descend to Ngorongoro Crater, one of the wonders of the natural world. An extinct volcano collapsed around 25 million years ago, thus forming a vast super bowl where the largest permanent concentration of African game is on display. Four-wheel-drive vehicles will take you down into this primaeval paradise of woodland, lake, river, swamp and plain that shelters around 20,000 animals.
See large grazing animals such as wildebeest, buffalo, gazelle, and zebra depend on the open grasslands in the crater.
Have lunch and ascend back to the rim. The views from the top of the crater wall are absolutely breathtaking which are forested.
