"Four days in Tanzania: Nature's marvel."
Arrival Day
Our Dotcom Safaris driver will be ready to pick you up at Kilimanjaro Airport (JRO) or Arusha Airport (ARK) at any time your flight arrives. Just look for the DotCom Safaris signboard with your name on it. Neither of the airports are large, so it should not be difficult to find each other. You will be taken to your hotel where you can settle in and prepare for tomorrow’s exciting adventure. There are no meals included in the tour package for this day due to the great variation in flight arrival times.
Day 1: Lake Manyara National Park
You are met by your Dotcom safari guide in the morning, where you have a safari briefing and then proceed to Lake Manyara National Park for game viewing. There will be a pause to enjoy a picnic style lunch then continuing to enjoy the park until late afternoon when we will exit the park and go to your evenings accommodation for relaxation, dinner, and overnight rest. Note that this accommodation will not be inside the national park.
Day 2: Ngorongoro Crater
An early start to this day as we take you inside Ngorongoro Crater, one of Africa’s best safari destinations. We travel west, entering Ngorongoro Conservation Area, then descend the 600m (2,000ft) crater wall. This safari destination is noted for its high concentration of animals with a large variety present, including all of the “Big Five”- elephants, rhinoceros, African buffaloes, lions, and leopards. We will enjoy a picnic-style lunch inside of the crater. This destination is not large, just 20km in diameter so in 4 – 5 hours all will be seen. By the evening, we will return to the same accommodation as the previous night for relaxation, dinner, and overnight rest.
Day 3: Tarangire National Park
After breakfast, we will drive for game viewing in Tarangire National Park. This park is known for its very large elephant population. This park also has a large number of giraffes, lions, leopards, zebras, buffaloes, monkeys, pythons, and many others. Especially during the dry months of June – October, and January – February, many animals are drawn to the Tarangire River for water. The landscape dotted with giant, unique looking boabab trees gives this park a distinct look. In the mid-afternoon, we will drive to the premium tented camp/lodge for relaxation, dinner and overnight rest.
Day 4: Tarangire National Park
After breakfast, we will have another game viewing in Tarangire National Park. Or you can choose an optional Balloon Safari beginning at sunrise (add $600/person for this option). There will be game viewing and we will enjoy a picnic style lunch inside the park. In the mid/late afternoon, we will take you to Arusha Airport, Kilimanjaro Airport, Arusha city, or Moshi where the services end.
