Tour Plan
Day 1 Arrival and Drive to Tarangire National Park
In the morning at around 5.00 pm, you'll be picked up from the hotel (the exact pick-up time depends on hotel location) and transfer to Zanzibar Airport. Departure from Znz is at 8.00 am and arrival in Arusha is at around 9.00 am. Airport pickup and transfer to Tarangire for a safari. Tarangire is a place where elephants walk lazily across the plains like cattle, where lions roar and zebra bark.
Tarangire is said to be the largest elephant community in the world during the dry season, and an additional reason to visit Tarangire National Park with its magnificent baobabs, termite mounds, as well as grassy savannah plains, and vast swamps. Ride in the park until 5:00 pm and drive to the lodge for the night.
Day 2 Ngorongoro Crater Visit
Have breakfast at around 6:00 am and depart to Ngorongoro Crater for an 8-hour park ride. Kreter is one of the most amazing and famous Natural Wonders in the World. It is a large, uninterrupted, unflooded caldera, formed when a giant volcano exploded and collapsed some three million years ago.
It is home to the highest density of big game in Africa, including all the Big Five and a multitude of predators. This is a unique place, a natural wonder deservedly inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, and in no case should you miss it.
The magic of Ngorongoro begins when you are on the edge and gaze down into a tangled forest shrouded in mist. From here, you'll slide down into a wide plain teeming with wildlife. The steep walls rise from 400 to 610 meters from the crater floor, and its base covers 264 square kilometres (19km in diameter). The height of the original volcano must have been between 4,500 and 5,800 meters.
Day 3 Visit the Hadzabe Tribe and Return to Zanzibar
Early in the morning, depart to Lake Eyasi, where you will visit the famous Hadzabe tribes, the last tribe of hunter-gatherers in Tanzania. The Hadzabe homeland is around Lake Eyasi, on the edge of the Serengeti plains, in the shadow of the Ngorongoro Crater.
The Hadzabe becomes an extinct tribe. It is only a matter of time before their presence becomes history. Seize the chance to spend time with this mysterious tribe before there are no more traditional Hadzi climbing hills with bows and arrows, haunting baboons.
Spend time with the Hadzabe people and observe their unchanged traditional way of life and harmony with nature. You will have the opportunity to connect with tribe members and learn all about their lives, hunting, food preparation, and cultural norms. It is a real journey back in time to the roots of humanity. After visiting Hadza, return to the airport for the flight to Zanzibar at 4:30 pm. From the airport in Zanzibar, transfer to the hotel.
