2 Day Tarangire National Park & Ngorongoro Crater

<p style="text-align: left;">With packed Lunch, depart Arusha for two hours drive through the Maasai stepple towards Tarangire National Park. As you enter the park we’ll be greeted by a landscape dominated by majestic baobabs rising out of the acacia parkland, forming a perfect backdrop for the large herds of African Elephants wandering among them. Other mammals sharing this habitat range from Lion, Leopard, Cheetah, Wilddogs and Black-backed Jackal, to Kirk’s Dik-Dik, Dwarf and Banded Mongoose, Impala, Beisa Oryx, Steinbok and African Hare. You should expect to see Buffalo, Giraffe, Zebra, Wildebeest and Waterbuck The variety of birds we may see include Maasai Ostrich, White-headed Volture, African Scops Owls and the endemic Ashy Starling. Lunch in the Park, later in the afternoon drive to Hhando Coffee Lodge for dinner and overnight.</p> <p><b>Accommodation </b> <b>Hhando Coffee Lodge</b></p> <ul> <li>Mid-range Lodge</li> <li>Near Karatu</li> <li>Tanzania <img src="https://cfstatic.safaribookings.com/images/flags/tz.png" alt="Tanzania" border="0" /></li> <li><a href="http://www.hhandocoffeelodge.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">http://www.hhandocoffeelodge.com</a></li> </ul>

<p>Breakfast at Hhando Coffee Lodge, Ngorongoro Crater is just one of those places that has to be seen – words alone cannot do it justice. Leaving our lodge we’ll drive down into what was once, many eons ago, the fiery heart of a huge volcano. Today this natural amphitheatre has a much more peaceful atmosphere as Wildebeest, Coke’s Hartebeest, Grant’s and Thomson’s Gazelles, and Common Zebra feed contentedly - or at least as contentedly as the ever present Lions and Cheetah will allow, although the Black Rhinoceros here will be less concerned about these predators. The bird life in the crater varies according to the seasons but during our visit we should see Grey Crowned Crane, Lappet-faced Vulture, Black-bellied and Kori Bustards, Fischer’s Lovebird and Northern Anteater Chat among many others. Lunch to be saved at the designated picnic site in the Crater. Later you will drive back to Arusha Town.</p>
