Lake Eyasi nearby the Southern West fringe of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, the salty, sometimes dry Lake is rammed by the steep wall of the ancient Eyasi Rift. The area around Lake Eyasi is inhabited by the Hadzabe tribe (also called the Datoga). This ancient tribe is believed to have arrived in the area more than 300 years ago after subsequently forced out of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro by the Maasai. Their language (Nilo-Hamitic) is vaguely similar to that of the San Bushmen of South Africa. In this area are also found the Iraqw (called Wambulu) tribe of Cushitic origin.

Today we set our safari at 06:30, collecting you from your staying hotel and heading to Ngorongoro crater. Today may be ‘only a day trip’ but there will be plenty of time to enjoy true spectacle, before your thoughts to turn to home. Ngorongoro crater is often referred to as a wonder of the world and your day game drive shows you why.

Once at the Crater we will do a wonderful game drive with packed lunch boxes and served at the hippo pool picnic site. Today we have great opportunity to see animals such as: hyenas, silver backed jackals, elands, hartebeests, wildebeests, gazelles, impalas as well as rare ungulates like the long necked ; gerenuks. Later in the afternoon we ascend up the Crater walls and drive back to Arusha.

We will collect you from your hotel in Arusha and following a 1.5 hour drive, you will arrive at the Tarangire National Park.

Tarangire National Park boasts of accommodating the highest density of elephants in northern Tanzania which you can view year around. Sometimes the number reaches beyond 300 in total. The Tarangire River has water all year round and during the dry season, between July and October, the river attracts many animals from the surrounding areas to come for drinking.

When visit Tarangire national park you have big chance to witness an unforgettable natural wonder as you can observe wonderful creatures such as lions, giraffes, buffaloes, wildebeests and zebras as well as various types of antelopes and gazelles and when you are very lucky, you can also spot a python. This area is during the dry season also a haven for bird watchers with over 550 different species including the Maasai Ostrich -the world largest bird. At the end of this day, you will be taken back to your hotel in Arusha.

We set off at 7:00 for our day trip to Lake Manyara National Park. This is an exciting chance to get a feel of a real Africa. Lake Manyara is an unspoiled paradise of groundwater lakes fed by underground springs and teeming with wildlife.

Lake Manyara is a lovely scenic park on the road from Arusha to the Ngorongoro Crater, famous for its tree climbing lions, flamingos, pelicans and cormorants but it is also the home for a few hundred other species of birds; it is therefore a heaven for ornithologists. Next to a great variety of birds, it is a great play ground for the “Big Game”. At the end of this afternoon we drive back to Arusha and drop you at your hotel.

Our lake day trip tarts in Arusha at 7:30hrs heading to Moshi. Lake Chala is Crater Lake in caldera located on the border of Tanzania and Kenya on the eastern edge of famous volcano Kilimanjaro. Like Lake Jipe, Lake Chala divides Tanzania and Kenya and is thought to be the deepest inland body of water in Africa. This lake is fed by underground springs from Mt. Kilimanjaro. The Lake is a superb place for a day trip and for those who likes panoramic views and quiet recreation. Ideally you can spend a day swimming, enjoy canoeing or appreciate the beauty African nature.

We start in the morning at 7:30hrs and drive to Rundugai Hot Springs. Rundugai hot water springs (Kikuletwa Hot Springs) or Chemka hot springs are an unexpected paradise hidden in the desert scrub outside the town of Boma. Rundugai springs situated about 75 kilometers from Arusha, in the heart of the Sanya Plains.

They are an extraordinary phenomenon, rushing up from underground in the middle of parched and dusty landscape. Locally called Chemka, meaning boiling, this refers to the way in which the water appears to boil as it emerges from underground.

This is a good place to visit for a picnic and a swim too. And the views of Kilimanjaro on a clear day are also fabulous. The crystal-clear, turquoise waters surrounded by palm trees and winding roots offer a picturesque spot for a relaxing afternoon swim. After lunch at the springs then we drive to Kilimanjaro airport for your next flight home.

In the morning, we will collect you from your hotel and take you to Marangu, which lies in the fertile hills of Kilimanjaro where a village guide will be waiting for you and bring you first of all to the Chagga Live Museum, where you will get a deep insight in the traditional lifestyle of this agricultural society and also the family history. He will then lead you through the coffee and banana plantations to a spectacular waterfall.

At the waterfall, you will have lunch and if you fancy you may take a plunge in the refreshing waters of the waterfall. In the afternoon, you will be driven to the village of Mamba. This small village is famous for its caves, which were once used to hide the women and children for weeks during the Chagga – Masai wars.

Late in the afternoon, we will drop you at the airport or taking you back to your hotel. The rest of the evening is relaxing and dinner at Cottages house at TPC. End of our third day.
