Hollywood chose this region to film the movie “Hatari” in which Hardy Kruger starred alongside the legendary John Wayne. Your trip includes a visit to the Ngurdoto Crater. Buffaloes, waterbucks, giraffes, zebras and baboons can be seen all year round, as well as many bird species. The park is also known for the black and white colobus monkeys. These monkeys have no thumbs and are good at tree-climbing and jumping from branch to branch. Only a few other national parks in Tanzania give you such an opportunity and it is something that should not be missed. Lunch will be taken at a picnic site. After plenty of time allocated for you to observe the wildlife, we will drive you back to your accommodation in Arusha for dinner and overnight at Crest Safari Lodge.

You may also see giraffe, bushbuck and hartebeest. These animals are closely followed by a range of predators, including lion, cheetah and leopard. There are more breeding species of birds found in Tarangire National Park than anywhere else on the planet.
