You will have the chance to encounter breathtaking wildlife amid some of the most diverse landscapes: monkeys in the forest, lions in trees, elephants travelling through the bush, and a vast variety of animals that call a collapsed volcano home.
Day by Day Itinerary
Arrival In Arusha
A Phonex Expeditions Africa representative will pick you up from the airport and drive you to your accommodation in Arusha. Depending on your arrival time, you will have time to relax and prepare for the adventure of a lifetime.
Busy Arusha is an essential part of the safari life here in the northern part of Tanzania, and some travelers pass through at some time.

Tarangire National Park
After breakfast, a Phonex Expeditions driver-guide will collect you from your accommodation in Arusha. You will then drive to Tarangire National Park, a journey of approximately two and a half hours on good tarmac roads. The park got its name from the Tarangire River, which flows through it. This "river of warthogs" is the region's only water source for wildlife during the dry season. The park is well known for its elephant families, which can often be seen congregating by the river. You may also see giraffes, bushbuck, and hartebeest. A range of predators, including lions and leopards, often follow these animals. The population of birds that breed in this region is more than anywhere else on the planet! The huge, ancient baobab trees can be seen everywhere , some are said to have lived for more than a thousand years.
Lunch will be at a picnic site inside the park. After the game drive, you will transit to your accommodation in Karatu.

Ngorongoro Crater
After breakfast, you will drive through the cooler areas of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. When you first see the crater, it looks like a forgotten world. The steep volcanic walls, sweeping savanna, pockets of acacia woodlands, and glistening lake and swamps conceal a pristine wilderness. The crater was formed when a giant volcano exploded and collapsed on itself two to three million years ago. This 260 km square crater is famous for its geological delights and for being a natural reserve home to some of the densest large mammal populations on the African continent. After you descend into the crater, you quickly find yourself amongst large numbers of wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, and more than 500 bird species. The crater provides the best chance of seeing the endangered black rhino. Lunch will be at the picnic site on the crater floor. After your game drive, you will return to your accommodation in Karatu.

Lake Manyara National Park to Arusha
After breakfast, you will drive to Lake Manyara National Park. A small, diverse park 120 km west of Arusha. Everything you see here is on a different scale. It is compact (one of the narrowest parks in Africa) and epic (the Great Rift escarpment towers over Lake Manyara's western boundary). The park's namesake is a shallow salt lake and covers a large area of the park. The lake floods and dries with the season and is home to thousands of wading birds (including flamingos and over 500 other species of birds). You may see baboons and elephants in the park's evergreen forest, and keep an eye out for the tree-climbing lions that have become famous throughout Africa. Enjoy a picnic lunch in the park. After your game drive, you will say farewell to your guide and be dropped off at a place you choose. (Arusha town, Kilimanjaro Airport, Arusha Airport). We hope you have enjoyed your adventure with Phonex Expeditions Africa
