You slide into the shade of a high acacia as the jeep crunches across sun-baked soil. Dust hangs in the air like a promise; somewhere ahead a tower of elephants moves deliberately toward the river, trunks testing the current that seems to dare them to cross. Over four days you’ll move across three of Tanzania’s most elemental places: the baobab-dotted plains of Tarangire, the open sweep of the Serengeti, and the bowl of life that is Ngorongoro Crater.

The Ngorongoro area has been occupied by Maasai pastoralists for centuries; the crater and Serengeti have shaped local livelihoods through pastoralism and seasonal migration routes.
Conservation
