We collect you after breakfast and begin the 120 km (75-mile) journey towards Tarangire National Park. The drive normally takes two to three hours, and our guide can make a short comfort stop before reaching the entrance.

Inside the park, we explore wooded areas and open grasslands near the Tarangire River. Our guide looks for elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, and buffaloes while explaining where these animals are commonly found.

Since this is a private safari, we can spend longer at wildlife sightings that interest you. We stop for a packed lunch at an approved picnic area before continuing the game drive.

In the late afternoon, we leave Tarangire and drive towards Lake Manyara, where we arrange your private room at a midrange lodge.

After breakfast, we drive towards Ngorongoro Crater, covering approximately 60 to 90 km (37 to 56 miles), depending on your lodge. The journey takes about one to two hours before we descend to the crater floor.

Our guide takes us through open grasslands, small wooded areas, and sections near the hippo pools. We look for lions, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, and black rhinos while allowing time for photographs.

We arrange your packed lunch at a designated picnic area and continue exploring the crater. Later, we climb to the highlands and transfer you to your midrange lodge for the evening.
