3-Day Tanzania Safari to Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara

Early in the morning after breakfast, your tour begins. You will depart from your hotel and head toward Tarangire National Park, located southeast of the Arusha Region, about a 2-hour drive (120 km) from Arusha. After completing registration at the Tarangire National Park gate and taking a short washroom break, you will begin a full game drive with a lunch box inside the park.

Tarangire is famous for the Big 4 animals - leopards, lions, buffalo, and a large number of giant elephants - as well as baobab trees, climbing African pythons, wildebeest, eland, gazelle, impala, zebra, antelope, giraffes, warthogs, and over 550 different bird species.

After relaxing in the park in the evening, you will go to Figi Big Tree Lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

After breakfast, drive to Ngorongoro Crater with picnic lunch boxes and descend into the crater, one of the most densely crowded game areas in the world and home to nearly 40,000 animals. Here, you will have a good chance of seeing the Big Five: lion, leopard, rare Black Rhino, buffalo, and elephants.

Along with the Big Five, you will also see herds of wildebeest, zebra, and Thomson's gazelle. After 5 hours of game drives, continue to Simba Camp for dinner and an overnight stay.

After an early breakfast, you will go to Lake Manyara National Park for a game drive. You will view plenty of birds, including the famous flamingos on the lake, and if you are lucky, you may spot the park's famous tree-climbing lions.

You will also visit the hippo pool for a close look at hippos and the hot spring, all while driving through the park and viewing plenty of animals such as buffaloes, wildebeest, warthogs, vultures, eagles, and monkeys.

Later, you will exit the park and drive back to Arusha town.
