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

• Leave Arusha at 08:30 am with packed lunch boxes and depart for Tarangire National Park, located 120 km from the town.
• In this astonishing park, expect to see substantial herds of elephants gathering alongside the Tarangire River, along with many other animal species such as wildebeest, lions, buffaloes, zebras, and prolific birdlife.

Dinner and overnight at Eileen's Tree.

• After breakfast, leave the campsite with your packed lunches and drive across the floor of the Great Rift Valley to Lake Manyara National Park for a game drive. With its lush vegetation and tropical forests, this beautiful park takes its name from the Maasai word for "euphorbia tirucalli," a bush used to make a thorny hedge to protect their cattle.
• Elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, and a variety of antelope inhabit the park, along with several monkey species, and a large population of hippos can also be seen. If you are lucky, you may spot the Manyara lions, well known for their tree-climbing habits, lazily resting on the branches of an "Acacia tortilis" tree. The birdlife is also abundant, with flamingoes, pelicans, hornbills, and plenty of forest species. Lunch boxes will be provided at the picnic.

Dinner and overnight at Eileen's Tree.

• After breakfast, drive to the Ngorongoro Crater for a wonderful game drive with a picnic lunch inside the crater, often described as one of the wonders of the world. It is the world's largest intact volcanic caldera and a natural sanctuary for some of Africa's densest animal populations. It is also one of the few places where the rare black rhino can be observed in its natural setting.
• As very few animals migrate in and out of the crater because of its 2000 ft. high walls, you can expect to see lions, elephants, zebras, hippos, flamingos, jackals, rhinos, antelopes, many birds, and other species. With a bit of luck, the Big Five can be spotted during a single game drive.

Drive back to Arusha for an overnight stay.
