3-Day Tanzania Wildlife Safari with Tarangire and Ngorongoro

Awaken to the sounds of the African bush and prepare for your journey to Tarangire National Park, renowned for its impressive elephant herds. Tarangire is a birdwatcher's paradise, with over 500 bird species calling it home. While on safari, watch for giraffes, zebras, and various antelope species.

As you explore Tarangire's unique landscape of ancient baobab trees and seasonal swamps, you will witness the diverse wildlife that thrives in this remarkable ecosystem. After an exhilarating day, retire to your comfortable accommodation nestled in the heart of the park.

On the second day of your safari, venture into the enchanting Lake Manyara National Park. Famous for its tree-climbing lions and dazzling pink flamingos that adorn the lake's shores, this park offers a serene and diverse safari experience.

As you drive through the lush groundwater forest, keep your binoculars ready to spot colourful birdlife, monkeys, and perhaps even a troop of baboons. Lake Manyara's compact size creates an immersive experience, making it a memorable part of your safari adventure.

Finish the game drive at Lake Manyara, and then depart straight to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area for the night at a campsite on the crater rim.

In the late afternoon, bid farewell to the enchanting Tanzanian wilderness, with unforgettable memories of encounters with Africa's majestic wildlife and landscapes.

After breakfast, descend 600 m into this magnificent crater for a half-day game drive. The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the world's most densely populated African wildlife areas 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, including herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another major draw of this picturesque national park is its dense predator population, including lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot.

Enjoy a picnic lunch in the crater before travelling back to Arusha, ending your three days with an epic safari.
