3 Days/2 Nights Safari to Lake Manyara/Ngorongoro Crater/Tarangire National Park

Meet our professional tours guide/driver in Arusha town at 08:30am, who will deliver a short safari info briefing, after which, we travel to the Lake Manyara National Park with picnic lunch.

After lunch, we head into the Lake Manyara National Park. This impressive park is one of Tanzania’s most dramatically located wildlife areas, consisting of a massive but shallow soda lake (covering two-thirds of the park) at the foot of the Great Rift Valley’s western escarpment.

The park’s varied habitat attracts a wide variety of animals, including one of Africa’s largest concentrations of elephants, Manyaras famous tree-climbing lions, as well as large flocks of flamingos attracted by the algae in the lake.

Late afternoon depart the park and drive to Karatu for dinner and overnight at Ngorongoro Farm House 

After breakfast, we descend 600m into this magnificent crater for a morning, half-day game drive. The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most densely crowded African wildlife areas in the world and is home to an estimated 30,000 animals including some of Tanzania’s last remaining black rhino.

Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro Crater supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants.

Another big drawcard to this picturesque national park is its dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot. We will enjoy a picnic lunch in the crater, then continue with an afternoon game drive.

Late afternoon ascend from the crater for dinner and overnight at Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge 

After breakfast, we head into the Tarangire National Park for a full day game drive with picnic lunch box. The park runs along the line of the Tarangire River and is mainly made up of low-lying hills on the Great Rift Valley floor.

Its natural vegetation mainly consists of Acacia woodland and giant African Baobab trees, with huge swamp areas in the south. Both the river and the swamps act like a magnet for wild animals, during Tanzania’s dry season.

The Tarangire National Park is reputed to contain some of the largest elephant herds in Africa. This African national park is also home to three rare species of animals – the Greater Kudu, the Fringed-eared Oryx, as well as a few Ashy Starlings.

Late afternoon we depart the park and drive back to Arusha and we will end our African safari adventure.

The group should tip the tour guide around $20 a day for all our safaris. You will be taken to your hotel, which ends our safari packages services.
