Elephant herds, a descent into the Ngorongoro Crater, and Arusha’s forested wildlife — three parks in three days. This safari links three of northern Tanzania’s most distinctive landscapes. Start in Tarangire National Park, home to some of the country’s largest elephant herds and a skyline of ancient baobabs. From there, head to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where a game drive takes you down onto the floor of the crater — a natural amphitheater packed with wildlife, including a good chance of spotting rhino. The trip closes in Arusha National Park, where walking safaris and canoeing give you a different pace before heading back to town.Duration: 3 DaysLocations: Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Arusha National Park, TanzaniaStyle: Safari — game drives, crater descent, walking safariStart: ArushaEnd: Arusha
