3-Day Tanzania Wildlife Safari through Tarangire Manyara and Ngorongoro

• Meet in Arusha town for a short safari briefing.

• Travel to Lake Manyara National Park with your Tanzanian safari guide.

• Arrive in time for lunch at the lodge or picnic site.

• After lunch, head into Lake Manyara National Park. This impressive park is one of Tanzania's most dramatically located wildlife areas, featuring a massive but shallow soda lake that covers two-thirds of the park at the foot of the Great Rift Valley's western escarpment. The park's varied habitat attracts a wide range of animals, including one of Africa's largest concentrations of elephants, Manyara's famous tree-climbing lions, and other wildlife such as blue monkeys, gazelles, Masai giraffe, hippos, and impalas. Lake Manyara is also known for the flamingos that inhabit the lake, and during the wet season they can be seen in large numbers.

Dinner and overnight as per the standard and type of accommodation option requested.

• After breakfast, descend into this magnificent crater area for a morning half-day game drive. The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most densely populated wildlife areas in Africa and is home to an estimated 30,000 animals, including some of Tanzania's last remaining black rhinos. Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the crater sustains a wide variety of animals such as wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another major draw of this picturesque national park is its dense population of predators, including lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard.

• Enjoy a picnic lunch in the crater area.

Dinner and overnight as per the standard and type of accommodation option requested.

• After breakfast, head into Tarangire National Park for a morning game drive with your Tanzanian safari guide. This 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 consists largely 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. Tarangire National Park is reputed to contain some of the largest elephant herds in Africa and is also home to three rare animal species - the Greater Kudu, the Fringed-eared Oryx, and a few Ashy Starlings.

• Return to the lodge for lunch.

• Leave for Arusha town. You will be taken to your hotel, which marks the end of our safari package services.
