After an early breakfast, your private guide will drive you to Tarangire National Park, known for its massive elephant herds and striking baobab trees.

A picnic lunch will be served inside the park at a scenic spot, offering stunning views while you dine. The landscape is a beautiful blend of river valleys and open woodlands—wild and romantic. After an exciting game drive, head toward Karatu, a highland town near the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. You'll overnight at Ngorongoro Coffee Lodge, where rustic charm meets comfort. Enjoy a romantic dinner surrounded by lush coffee plantations and toast to a day full of adventure.
Day 3
Ngorongoro Crater – Wildlife Wonderland
Today you'll descend into the iconic Ngorongoro Crater, one of the best places in Africa to see the Big Five in a single day.
