Sunrise splits the flat savannah near Tarangire into long, cool shadows: baobabs stand like weathered watchmen while a distant column of elephants threads toward water. Your private vehicle follows a dusty track, engine low, as the guide points to a lone lion lounging by a termite mound. On day two you climb to the Ngorongoro rim — the air sharpens, the ground drops away — and descend into the crater basin where herds and predators circle in a living arena.
