Overview
Short but sweet, our whirlwind tour starts in Arusha, takes in diverse Tarangire, Lake Natron, and as its ‘grande finale’ visits the beautiful Ngorongoro Conservation Area with its incomparable crater. In both locations, the wildlife is equally awe-inspiring,... but each of these environments in our Northern Circuit is unique – and truly breath-taking.
Trip Style
Our Comfort level accommodations are carefully selected by ALaitol Safari to provide the perfect balance between price and quality, and all offer private, en-suite facilities.
Itinerary
Day 1:Arusha - Tarangire National Park
Your game drives in Tarangire, with its incredible diversity, massive baobab trees and herds of elephants.
You will be picked up at your hotel in Arusha at 0700hrs and transferred to the Tarangire National Park to start off your game viewing experience in this magnificent park which is famous for its large collection of baobab trees, spectacular large mammal population, and variety of bird species, not to mention one of the largest concentration of elephants in the country. After your tour around the park, you will be transferred to your Lake Natron Camp where you will be spending the night.
Meals: Lunch & Dinner Included
Day 2:Lake Natron
The scenery today, as we head north past volcanic landscapes, will be stunning, but after a long journey, your chance to escape from the heat of Lake Natron with a dip in cool, fresh water might prove to be the highlight.
In the morning you will head over to Ngare Sero Waterfall in the gorge of a rift valley. This trekking is very light and relaxing, but at some point you will be crossing a river, so it is better to wear flip-flops or sandals. Then you will be transferred to Lake Natron, where you can take photos of the magnificent Ol Doinyo Lengai Volcano, walk along the shore, and stick around for lunch. Later, you will finish the safari and get to your Ngorongoro Tortils Camp that is located right on the edge of Ngorongoro crater.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Included
Day 3: Ngorongoro Crater- Arusha/Kilimanjaro International Airport
Your game drives in Tarangire, with its incredible diversity, massive baobab trees and herds of elephants.
You will depart the lodge at around 06:00hrs and head to the Ngorongoro Crater for your final game drive. The crater is not only the largest unbroken caldera in the world but it is also one of the new 7 natural wonders of Africa. After your morning game drive, you will take a break to enjoy your packed lunch at the Hippo Pool Picnic site. After your morning game drive, you will be transferred back to Arusha/ Airport in the afternoon via curio shops where you can grab some souvenirs to take back home with you.
