Arusha in Africa is your gateway to Tanzania's treasure trove

The charming town of Arusha rests beneath the mighty gaze of Mount Meru and is an ideal base to explore Tanzania's Northern Safari Circuit. It's hard to think of another place in the world that is in close proximity to such a variety of national parks and game reserves! Here, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater are only a flight away from Arusha's beloved coffee plantations.

2 Nights in Ngorongoro Crater

A flourishing basin in the Ngorongoro Crater

Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Crater has been part of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) since 1973. Aside from boasting a fertile floor and thus an abundance of wildlife (notably the Big 5), the crater is also the only intact caldera left in the world. Fun fact: many speculate—before Ngorongoro erupted—it would have been higher than the mighty Kilimanjaro.

Highlights

Only intact caldera in the world
Part of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site
Home to the Big 5, as well as an estimated 6,000 wildebeest and a variety of other animals
Incredible diversity of fauna and flora all year round

2 Nights in Serengeti National Park

Home of Endless Plains and the Great Migration

Stretching itself across 1.5 million hectares of land, the Serengeti National Park is known for its impressive population of wildlife—most notably the Big 5. It is perhaps more renowned for being part of the stage on which the annual Great Migration plays out. Each year, over two million wildebeest, a fair number of gazelles, and small following of zebra seek better grazing areas by migrating south in the Serengeti, then west and north into the Maasai Mara before eventually returning.
