Day by day
Day 1: Arusha to Tarangire National Park
Post-breakfast, you’ll roll out to Tarangire National Park, a stomping ground for one of East Africa’s biggest elephant crews.

What’s on your lens list—those elephants or something else?
Day 2: Ngorongoro Crater Tour
After breakfast, you’ll head to the legendary Ngorongoro Crater. Drop into this massive volcanic caldera, buzzing with life—lions, rhinos, elephants, and buffaloes roam the scene. Spend the day roaming the crater floor, soaking up the wild action and epic views, then roll back to camp for dinner. What’s topping your crater checklist—spotting a rhino or just taking in that scenery?
