Day 02
Arusha
National Park
Today your guide
will take you into
Arusha National
Park. Lying between
the peaks of
Kilimanjaro and Meru,
Arusha National Park
is an outstandingly
beautiful area. The
Park has a wide
range of habitats,
from the string of
crater lakes where
many water birds can
be watched, through
the highland montane
forest and on up to
the imposing summit
of Mount Meru. Walk
in the park with an
armed ranger .
The forests contain
a wealth of birds
and other animals,
like the beautiful
bushbuck easily
glimpsed in the
glades between the
ancient cedar trees,
or the black and
white colobus
monkeys climbing
along their
branches. The
interesting geology
of the area is
reflected in the
impressive view of
the ash cone and
cliff face leading
to the summit of
Mount Meru.
You have the option
of taking a picnic
lunch and half a
full day game
viewing in the Park
or you can decide to
have half day game
drive and return to
the lodge for lunch,
afternoon at
leisure.
Dinner and overnight

Lodge
Day 03 Arusha –
Tarangire
After breakfast,
drive to
Tarangire
National Park, the
third largest
national park in
Tanzania.
This delightful
park, covering an
area of 2,600 sq km
was established in
1970, and it is the
numerous baobab
trees that will
initially catch your
eye. The Tarangire
National Park
derives its name
from the Tarangire
River that rises in
the highlands of
central Tanzania and
winds its way
through the game
sanctuary. The river
irresistibly lures
the herds of plains
migrants from the
parched surrounding
area to its shrunken
– but permanent –
brackish waters
during the dry
season.
The animals come by
thousands from as
far north as the
shores of Lake
Natron, dramatically
swelling the
resident population
with wildebeest,
zebra, eland,
elephant,
hartebeest, buffalo
and fringe-eared
Oryx. Tarangire is
said to have the
highest recorded
number of breeding
bird species for any
habitat in the
world. As the
rainless days
continue the
Tarangire pools are
clotted with thirsty
migrants, and
elephants begin to
dig for underground
streams in the dry
riverbed. .Hot lunch
at Tarangire Sopa
lodge
Dinner and overnight

Treetops Tops
Located within the
85,000 acre

appealing to those
with a sense of fun.
Uniquely furnished
with a combination
of natural and
contemporary décor
the 20 tree-houses
provide guests with
an altogether
‘different’ safari
camp experience, one
which includes
sharing their space
with other tree
residents such as
owls and bush
babies. Perched up
in the baobab and marula trees that
dominate the
landscape the houses
each have a large
private balcony
affording
magnificent views
over the African
plains and the Rift
Valley wall. With an
internal floor space
of 65sq metres the
rooms are the
largest of their
kind in East Africa.
Encasing a vast
baobab tree the
spacious public
areas feature a
restaurant, bar,
reception, swimming
pool and boutique
overlooking the
waterhole that sees
a constant flow of
visitors throughout
the day and night.

Day 08 Lake Eyasi -
Ngorongoro
After breakfast, you

Ngorongoro
Conservation Area
arriving in time for
lunch at
Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge. You will
decide if you will
have afternoon at
leisure. Ngorongoro
Highlands with
spectacular views
across the
Ngorongoro Crater.
You will enjoy a
sundowner
overlooking, what is
said to be the
eighth wonder of the
World.
The Ngorongoro
Conservation Area
covers 8300 sq km,
of which the
renowned Ngorongoro
Crate only makes up
about 3% - equal to
approximately 260 sq
km. The conservation
area also
encompasses the
volcanic area around
the Ngorongoro
Crater including the
still active volcano
of Oldonyio Lengai
and the famous
Olduvai Gorge. Its
centerpiece, the
Ngorongoro Crater,
often referred to as
the eighth wonder of
the world is the
largest unbroken
caldera in the
world, and the first
sight of it is truly
breathtaking. The
floor of the crater
is home to a year
round population of
varied wildlife,
including the almost
extinct black rhino.
Animal densities are
high, and game
viewing is
excellent, with
visitors after being
able to get up close
to the now almost
habituated “wild”
animals.
The crater supports
up to 25,000 large
mammals. Grazers
dominate: zebra,
wildebeest –
accounting for
almost half the
animals – gazelle,
buffalo, eland,
hartebeest and wart
hog. Giraffe, for
example, stay away
because there is
insufficient food at
tree level; topi
because they compete
directly with
wildebeest. An odd
feature of the
crater elephants is
that they are almost
exclusively bulls.
Breeding herds –
comprising large
numbers of females
and young with a few
attendant older
males – are probably
unable to find
sufficient quality
food in the crater.
Ngorongoro has
carnivores in
quantity, drawn by
the large herds of
prey animals. It has
the most dense
population of large
predators, mainly
lion – about 100 –
and more than 400
spotted hyena,
living in eight
clans of up to
eighty individuals.
Both lions and
hyenas will scavenge
from each other,
depending on weight
of numbers and of
course, hunger.
Dinner and overnight

Nestled onto the rim
of the Crater, all
in stone and wood
construction and
overgrown with
natural vegetation,
the 75 rooms of the
lodge become almost
unseen among the
natural
surroundings. They
are breathtaking
views of the crater
from all the rooms.
