Tour Plan
Day 1:
Arrival in Arusha
Upon arrival at the airport, a Ndovu African Expeditions representative will warmly welcome you and transfer you to your luxury hotel in Arusha. Depending on your arrival time, you may have the chance to relax and prepare for the exciting days ahead.
Arusha lies at the foothills of Mt. Meru (Africa’s 5th highest mountain) and is famously known as the safari capital of Tanzania. With its lush greenery, pleasant climate, vibrant streets, and nearby coffee plantations, Arusha offers a perfect introduction to Tanzania.

Day 2:
Tarangire National Park
After breakfast, your safari guide from Ndovu African Expeditions will pick you up and drive to Tarangire National Park (approx. 2.5 hrs).
This park is named after the Tarangire River, the lifeline for wildlife during the dry season.
Tarangire is famous for its large elephant herds and diverse birdlife — from parrots and hornbills to eagles and vultures. You will enjoy a picnic lunch inside the park and later continue your game drive before heading to your luxury lodge in Karatu.

Ngorongoro Crater & Serengeti
After breakfast, you will head into the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, one of the most remarkable wildlife destinations in Africa.
The main highlight is the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater, a natural wonder formed over 3 million years ago. With its lush habitats and fresh water, the Crater supports one of the densest populations of large mammals, including the endangered black rhino. After an unforgettable crater tour, you will continue your journey into the Serengeti, entering through its southern plains. Dinner and overnight will be in Central Serengeti.

After a picnic lunch and game drive, you will return to Arusha or be dropped off at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) or Arusha Airport (ARK) for your onward journey.
