Day-by-Day

Day 1: Arusha – Tarangire National Park

Your adventure begins with a morning pick-up from your Arusha hotel or the airport by your Tanzania Timeless Safaris guide. After a briefing, you’ll set out for Tarangire National Park, a gem renowned for its giant baobab trees, sweeping savannahs, and impressive elephant herds. The Tarangire River flows year-round, attracting diverse wildlife, including giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, buffalo, and predators such as lions and leopards. Bird enthusiasts will delight in the park’s 500+ bird species.

 

You’ll enjoy an extended game drive with a picnic lunch in the heart of the park, maximizing your wildlife viewing. As the sun begins to set, drive towards the highlands of Karatu. Upon arrival, check in at Kankari Lodge, where you’ll enjoy dinner and a relaxing overnight stay surrounded by the lush greenery of the area.

Day 2: Karatu – Ngorongoro Crater – Karatu

After breakfast, set off early for the legendary Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most spectacular safari destinations in Africa. Descend 600 meters into the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera, home to an incredible concentration of wildlife. With about 30,000 animals inhabiting this “Garden of Eden,” you’ll have the chance to spot the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and the rare black rhino—as well as hyenas, hippos, flamingos, and countless plains game.

 

Enjoy a picnic lunch on the crater floor, surrounded by breathtaking views and grazing wildlife. After an extensive game drive, ascend the crater walls and return to Karatu for another overnight stay at Kankari Lodge, where you can unwind and share safari stories over dinner
