Destination Travel Advice
Practical guidance based on local seasonality and climate to support safer and smoother travel.
Local Temperature Guide
Plains are commonly 21-29C by day, while Ngorongoro mornings feel cold and Kilimanjaro high camps can fall below freezing.
Weather Tips
June to October is drier and more dependable for safari and trekking. April to May is greener, but muddy roads can make transfers longer.
Travel Suggestions
If your priority is scenery and game density, the northern circuit is the most reliable. Add trekking or the coast as a separate second phase to reduce fatigue.

Day 2
Lake Manyara National Park - Ngorongoro Crater - After breakfast we descend 600m into this magnificent crater for a morning
half-day game drive. The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most densely crowded African wildlife areas in the world and is home to an estimated 30,000 animals including some of Tanzania’s last remaining black rhino. Supported by a year round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro Crater supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants.

Day 3
Tarangire National Park - Arusha - After breakfast do we head into the Tarangire National Park for a morning game drive
The park runs along the line of the Tarangire River and is mainly made up of low-lying hills on the Great Rift Valley floor. Its natural vegetation mainly consists of Acacia woodland and giant African Baobab trees, with huge swamp areas in the south. Both the river and the swamps act like a magnet for wild animals, during Tanzania’s dry season. The Tarangire National Park is reputed to contain some of the largest elephant herds in Africa. This African national park is also home to three rare species of animals the Greater Kudu, the Fringed-eared Oryx, as well as a few Ashy Starlings. We return to the lodge for lunch after which we will depart for Arusha town and we will end our African safari adventure. The group should tip the tour guide around $20 a day for all our safaris. You will be taken to your arusha hotel/ arusha airport(additional charge usd50 drop off kilimanjaro airport), which ends our safari packages services.
