You will be picked up from the airport by a Lappet Faced Safaris representative and conveyed to your accommodation in Arusha where you will overnight, relax, and prepare in anticipation of the adventures to come. Arusha Planet Lodge which is nestled in the heart of Arusha, will captivate you with the natural beauty of the Tanzanian landscape awaiting for your safari adventure
In the morning you will be picked up from your lodgings in Arusha by our personal safari guide. We set out for Tarangire National Park on a good tarmac road across gently rolling Maasai plains with scattered acacia trees. As we zip along we'll pass many Maasais in their colourful dresses walking on the roadside, riding bicycles, herding cattle and driving donkey carts. Tarangire, well known for its large elephant herds, is also host to a multitude of other creatures. From the open roof of our state-of-the-art safari jeep, we'll experience the seasonal swamps, savanna and life-giving Tarangire River. Endeavour to encounter a multitude of creatures, from zebra to wildebeest, buffalo, elephant, and giraffe, to name a few. It is possible we will glimpse lions stalking prey or leopards watching, relaxing in the trees above. After our extensive game drive experiencing the varied sights and sounds of the wilderness, we will drive you to your accommodation for dinner and your overnight stay
After breakfast, we leave Karatu and enter the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. We will proceed crossing Ngorongoro Highlands to Ndutu Area and here we'll start the game drive for this day with special attention to the great migration. The great migration herds aggregate close to Lake Ndutu area between Serengeti and Ngorongoro from December to April, here they find fresh food and big predators waiting for them. From January, it is the beginning of the calving season for wildebeests.
Early in the morning after breakfast, we will enjoy the last game drive in Ndutu Area. Late in the afternoon, we will proceed to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. This UNESCO World Heritage Site formed millions of years ago with the massive explosion of a volcano once higher than Kilimanjaro is 610m deep and covers roughly 304sq km. It has a dense animal population of approximately 25 000 ungulates. After a final game drive in Ndutu, you will drive to your accommodation at the crater rim for dinner and your overnight stay.
After breakfast, we will descend inside Ngorongoro Crater for a game drive with a picnic lunch. Ngorongoro Crater is a must-see while on safari in Tanzania for its high density of wild animals. We will be able to see wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, elephant, and perhaps if we are lucky, black rhino through the grass. In the afternoon, we will drive back to Arusha
