3-Day Tanzania Safari to Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater

You will be picked up from the airport by a Lion King representative and transferred to your accommodation in Arusha. Here, you can relax, settle in, and prepare for the adventures ahead. Our partner lodge, Arusha Planet Lodge, is an oasis of calm and aesthetic pleasure.

Arusha Planet Lodge

• Mid-range lodge located in Arusha (City)

Meals & Drinks:

• Meals at own expense

Our safari guide will collect you from the lodge in Arusha for the drive to Tarangire National Park, which takes approximately 2 hours. Tarangire is best known for its elephant families, savannah, iconic baobab trees, and seasonal swamps, and it is home to the life-giving Tarangire River. Animals gather at the river, and giraffe, bushbuck, and hartebeest are often seen. The park is also home to buffalo, zebra, and wildebeest. These animals are closely attended by a range of predators, our Panthera friends, lion and leopard. From the open roof of the truck, we will have the opportunity to absorb the landscapes and view the wildlife.

After a full day in the park, we will drive to the excellently appointed lodge in Karatu. Here, we will enjoy dinner in the aesthetically delightful restaurant, relax, and spend the night in its capacious rooms.

Rise and shine! It's an early departure today to the lush highlands of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the seven wonders of Africa. Once we reach the crater rim, we rumble down a steep track into the 600 m deep caldera, noting our passage through several climatic zones, to see a range of animals and birds. The caldera, a collapsed volcano, is home to over 25,000 mammals ranging from the Big Five - lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard - to hippo, wildebeest, zebra, hyena, and more than 500 species of birds.

After an extensive game drive and a picnic lunch in the crater, we will return to Arusha, arriving early in the evening.
