Day 1
Arusha/Moshi Departure ➔ Tarangire Elephant Sanctuary Safari ➔ Karatu Highlands
- Your premium safari kicks off at dawn. Meet your expert Vicmos driver-guide at your hotel or airport terminal in Arusha or Moshi. Step into your private luxury 4x4 open-roof safari cruiser and journey southwest to Tarangire National Park. Celebrated as the home of giants, Tarangire boasts massive elephant families roaming among prehistoric baobab trees. Spend the morning and afternoon tracking lions, leopards, and zebras along the drying riverbeds. In the late afternoon, ascend the spectacular Great Rift Valley escarpment into the lush, green coffee highlands of Karatu for a gourmet multi-course dinner.

Descend the Volcanic Ngorongoro Crater Floor ➔ Return to the Karatu Highlands
Savor an early fresh breakfast before departing for the mist-shrouded Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Descend 600 meters straight down onto the floor of the majestic Ngorongoro Crater—a pristine, self-contained volcanic caldera home to over 30,000 animals.
