You’ll explore three of Tanzania’s most iconic destinations, Lake Manyara National Park, Tarangire National Park, and the Ngorongoro Crater, each offering unique landscapes and exceptional wildlife encounters. These parks are known for their rich biodiversity and high concentration of animals, ensuring a memorable safari experience. In just three days, you’ll have ample opportunities to witness a wide array of wildlife, making this safari both efficient and unforgettable.

Day 1 | Arusha - Tarangire National Park

After an early breakfast, we head to Tarangire National Park. The park is home to one of the largest elephant populations in the north of Tanzania, but is also home to many other wild animals. With some luck you can spot lions, cheetahs or leopards. The landscape of the park is very diverse. Especially the huge baobab trees, which are located close together in the north-eastern sector of the park, are particularly impressive.

Day 2 | Ngorongoro Crater

On this day it is best to leave the hotel as early as possible so you can see the variety of animals that are only active during the morning hours; breakfast will be packed in lunchboxes specifically for this purpose. At 6:30 AM you will set off for Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and after about an hour you will already be inside the crater. Ngorongoro is one of the most famous and interesting of Tanzania’s national parks because here you can find the greatest number of different animal species per square kilometer. You will have the chance to see buffalo, elephants, lions, wildebeests, zebras, hippopotamus and feline species such as caracals and servals. The luckiest travelers might even see a rhinoceros, an animal whose numbers are rapidly declining. By lunch time you will arrive at the lake side, where you will be offered lunchboxes, after which the safari will continue. After your tour around the park, you will be transferred to your lodge in Mto wa Mbu where you will be spending the night.

Day 3 | Lake Manyara National Park

You will depart from the Lodge and head to Lake Manyara National Park for your final game drive. The park is renowned for its elusive tree climbing lions and diverse bird life. After your tour around the beautiful lake and the amazing ground water forest you will be transferred back to Arusha in the afternoon.
