The scenery of both Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater are amazing and distinctive. Tarangire is known for its large number of elephants and giraffes. The scenic Tarangire River winding its way through the park and the giant baobab trees make this destination unmistakable. Ngorongoro Crater not only has a high density of safari animals in a small area, but the beauty of the crater itself is worth the visit. Finally you will follow the Hadzabe tribe on a hunt and have time to understand why they love their lifestyle so much. Three days, destinations not far from each other but quite distinct. A wonderful itinerary.

Day 1: After breakfast at your hotel, we will drive to Tarangire National Park. This park is best known for its large number of elephants. Giraffes, lions, zebras, buffaloes, and various varieties of antelopes are also present. The scenery is beautiful with huge baobab trees and giant termite mounds dotting the landscape. The Tarangire River which winds its way through the park draws a large number and variety of animals to its river banks, especially during the dry months of July - October and January - February. We will pause inside the park to enjoy a picnic style lunch before continuing with the game viewing. In the evening we will go to the evening's accommodations for relaxation, dinner, and sleep.

Day 2: After breakfast, we will get some game viewing in before we exit the park and drive to Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA). Reaching the crater we descend down 600m (2,000ft) to the floor of Ngorongoro Crater. The game viewing here is wonderful with a high density and wide variety of safari animals present. All of the "Big Five" - elephants, buffaloes, rhinoceros, lions, and leopards are present. Only giraffe are lacking but you most likely had seen several in Tarangire. We will pause the game viewing to enjoy a picnic style lunch at a designated site which overlooks a small lake frequented by hippos, cranes, and flamingoes. While the game viewing is great, the size of this location is not large, just 20km in diameter. So after  4- 5 hours all will be seen. At that time we will ascend out of the crater and drive out of the NCA to our accommodations.

Day 3: You will have a very early wake up call this morning. This day we will follow the Hadzabe tribe as they go on a morning hunt. This tribe is very opportunistic, hunting anything from mice to giraffe using bow and arrow. For larger game the arrowheads are dipped in a strong poison. This tribe loves their lifestyle and has declined the governments offers to convert them to a modernized lifestyle and schooling. They are experts at foraging for tubors and harvesting wild honey. After the hunt you will have the chance to compare your archery skills and ability to start a fire without matches with theirs. They are a very friendly tribe with a unique language that incorporates clicking sounds. After this visit we will have a brunch before driving to Kilimanjaro Airport (JRO) or Moshi for the end of the itinerary.
