3-Day Tanzania Safari to Arusha, Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater

Your safari begins with morning pickup from your hotel in Arusha. After meeting your professional driver-guide, travel to nearby Arusha National Park.

After completing the entrance formalities, begin your game drive through the park's varied environments. Arusha National Park includes montane forest, open grassland, volcanic scenery, and the Momella Lakes.

The park is particularly known for black-and-white colobus monkeys. You may also encounter blue monkeys, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, warthogs, bushbucks, waterbucks, and numerous bird species.

Explore selected areas around the Momella Lakes and visit the Ngurdoto Crater viewpoint when accessible. Clear weather may provide views of Mount Meru and, from some locations, distant Mount Kilimanjaro.

Enjoy a picnic lunch at an approved site before continuing the afternoon game drive. Later, leave the park and return to your hotel in Arusha for dinner and overnight.

After breakfast, check out from your hotel and drive to Tarangire National Park. The journey passes through rural landscapes and small towns before reaching the park entrance.

Begin your game drive through Tarangire's savannah, woodland, and river habitats. The park is famous for its elephants and ancient baobab trees.

You may see giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffaloes, impalas, warthogs, baboons, and several antelope species. Lions and other predators are also present, although sightings cannot be guaranteed.

The Tarangire River is an important water source and attracts wildlife throughout the year. Wildlife concentrations are often especially strong during dry conditions.

Enjoy a picnic lunch inside the park and continue the afternoon game drive. Later, leave Tarangire and travel to your lodge near Karatu or the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

Ngorongoro Crater contains grassland, woodland, wetlands, and freshwater areas that support a large concentration of wildlife. You may see lions, elephants, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, hyenas, and various antelope species.

The endangered black rhinoceros may also be seen, although sightings are never guaranteed. Depending on seasonal conditions, the crater lakes may attract flamingos and other waterbirds.
