Fly over the savanna, explore iconic parks and chase waterfalls in just three days
About This Safari
Your adventure begins with a scenic flight from Arusha to Tarangire National Park, where ancient baobabs dot the landscape and large herds of elephants roam freely. Spend the morning on expertly guided game drives, spotting lions, leopards and a myriad of birdlife before returning to your lodge for a relaxed evening.
The next day takes you to the world‑renowned Ngorongoro Crater, a natural amphitheatre teeming with wildlife. Descend into the caldera for a full‑day safari, witnessing the dense concentrations of buffalo, zebra, wildebeest and the rare black rhino. After an exhilarating day, retreat to a luxury lodge on the crater rim for sunset views and a gourmet dinner.
On the final morning, fly to the lush foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro and trek to the stunning Materuni waterfalls. A short hike through coffee plantations leads you to the cascading falls, where you can swim in the cool pools and learn about local Chagga culture. The tour concludes with a return flight to Arusha, leaving you with lasting memories of Tanzania’s diverse landscapes and wildlife.
