Overview

SAFARI IN NATIONAL PARKS: TARANGIRE, LAKE EYASI, AND NGORONGORO CRATER This Tanzanian safari, which offers tours to the rugged Lake Eyasi, was recently added to our list of excursions. The first day is spent in Tarangire National Park, where you can see ancient baobab trees and large herds of elephants. The following day, you will research the Hadzabe and Datooga tribes of Lake Eyasi. These tribes, with an untouched culture, live according to ancient customs and traditions, hunting and gathering and living off the land. The third day is spent at the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its unique ecosystem and endangered wildlife. This itinerary is an excellent value, with guests staying in comfortable lodges and hotels throughout the tour. Your journey will be led by a professional driver-guide with extensive knowledge in the African bush.

Day by day

Day 1 — Tarangire

After breakfast (around 7:30 a.m.), your safari guide will arrive at the hotel and notify the receptionist that he is expecting you. After meeting your driver, you will travel to Tarangire National Park and be on your first safari by 10:00 AM! This park offers the opportunity to see a variety of wild Tanzanian animals (lions, buffalos, giraffes, zebras, and so on), but it is best known for its incredible number of elephants, which typically congregate near their drinking source, the Tarangire River. Because this is wild nature, the guide cannot guarantee the presence of specific wild animals, but you can be sure he will look for them. Additional notes: This is your first day on safari, so we ask that you please pay special attention to the national park visitor rules and our company recommendations. During the safari, it is strictly prohibited to exit the vehicle, except in specially designated areas. Violations of this rule may be accompanied by large fines for the company, including the revocation of its license. Off-road driving is also prohibited, as such behavior may cause irreparable damage to the fragile balance of the natural ecosystem. During the safari, you are allowed to smoke, but be extremely careful about how you extinguish and dispose of cigarette butts, as they are a frequent cause of fires in the savanna. In addition, we sincerely request that you not put your feet on the safari car's seats, nor sit on the back of them, because this type of behavior quickly makes the cars unusable. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

Day 2 — Lake Eyasi

Early morning wake-up call, breakfast, and travel to Lake Eyasi with a stop at a Hadzabe (Bushman) village to observe their daily lives and participate in a real hunt with them. You will have a break in the afternoon, and the driver will provide you with lunch boxes. The safari will continue after this stop, and you will be transferred to a hotel on the rim of the Ngorongoro volcanic crater by the evening.

Day 3 — Ngorongoro Crater

It is essential to leave the hotel as early as possible on this day to observe the range of creatures that are only active in the morning; breakfast will be packed in lunchboxes specifically for this purpose. You'll leave at 6:30 a.m. for Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and you'll be inside the crater in about an hour. Ngorongoro is one of Tanzania's most famous and interesting national parks, with the biggest number of diverse animal species per square kilometer. There will be buffalo, elephants, lions, wildebeests, zebras, hippopotami, and feline species such as caracals and servals to witness. The most fortunate visitors may even encounter a rhinoceros, an endangered species. By evening you will finish the safari and return to the hotel in Arusha. Rest in the hotel and transfer to the airport. Note: Hotel check-out is at 11:00 AM. In case you need a late check-out because of an evening flight, you have the option to extend your hotel stay till 6:00 PM for an extra fee.
