Enjoy dinner and an evening at leisure as you settle in and prepare for your safari ahead.
After breakfast at Arusha Farm House, your driver-guide will meet you for the journey to Tarangire National Park.

Embark on a game drive spotting lions, giraffes, zebras, and more. In the evening, head to your lodge for dinner and overnight, surrounded by the sounds of nature.
After an early breakfast, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for a half-day game drive in one of Africa’s most wildlife-rich areas.

After a picnic lunch on the crater floor, ascend and begin your scenic drive back to Arusha. Arrive in the late afternoon and check in at Arusha Farm House for dinner and overnight stay.
After breakfast, depart from your lodge and head to Chemka Hot Springs, a hidden oasis surrounded by lush greenery. Enjoy a relaxing swim in the crystal-clear, warm waters and take in the serene atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after days of adventure. You can relax, explore the area, or enjoy a picnic lunch under the shade of the trees.
