In Tarangire National Park, the undulating sylvan savanna, dotted with majestic baobab trees, many more than 2,000 years old, is home to the largest elephant population in northern Tanzania. And watching the animals after the dust blows over the dry plains is absolutely amazing. In the late dry season, in fact, the park hosts the highest density of wildlife on the entire continent.

Covering an area of only 330 square kilometres, 230 of which are occupied by the lake, it is possible to encounter five different ecosystems here. The park is inhabited by over 380 bird species and a large number of animal species including elephants, buffaloes, zebras, giraffes, leopards, lions, baboons, hippos, antelopes, warthogs and many others.

After breakfast, we will visit the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, one of the most famous safari destinations in the world, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1978 and an International Biosphere Reserve in 1981. Ngorongoro Crater, the area of greatest interest, is 2,200 meters above sea level, measures more than 16 kilometers in diameter and occupies a total area of about 265 square kilometers. This size makes Ngorongoro the largest uninterrupted caldera in the world and one of the natural wonders of Africa with the presence of about 30,000 large mammals residing year-round, such as buffalo, lions, elephants, cheetahs and rhinos, and many varieties of birds, such as flamingos, eagles, buzzards, ostriches and hawks.
The crater’s center is occupied by the shallow waters of Lake Magadi, which tends to dry up during the dry season, and is the best place from which to observe flocks of flamingos and crowned cranes, as well as several herbivores, especially the large number of wildebeests and zebras who drink here, attracting lions and hyenas. During the day, we will also visit the Maasai Village inside the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, which is sure to be a fascinating experience. Towards evening, we will return to Arusha.

After that you will be taken to the airport to return to Italy or continue your vacation to beach destinations, with your heart filled with a wonderful experience that you will not forget.
