3-Day Wildlife Safari in Tanzania with Tarangire and Ngorongoro

We will depart from Arusha in the early hours of the day and drive to Tarangire National Park, where colossal termite mounds and ancient baobab trees await us. This park is renowned for its immense elephant population, picturesque scenery, and diverse birdlife.

Tarangire has enticing wildlife, including elephants, lions, giraffes, warthogs, ostriches, impalas, cheetahs, mongoose, buffaloes, and baboons. When our game drive ends, we will proceed to Lake Manyara, where you will have dinner and an overnight stay.

We will have a timely start to the day to ensure that we arrive at the Ngorongoro Crater promptly - early morning game drives provide an excellent opportunity to spot wildlife. We will enjoy a wonderful game drive with an appetizing picnic lunch inside the crater.

The elevated structure encourages the animals to settle inside the crater, so you can spot every member of the 'Big 5' in one day. The Big 5 tend to dominate the savannah and consist of buffalo, lions, elephants, rhinos, and leopards.

The Ngorongoro Crater developed its structure nearly three million years ago when a colossal volcano erupted, making it the largest un-flooded, unbroken caldera in the world. You can also expect to encounter zebra, hippo, wildebeest, and hyenas.

You will find flamingos gracefully lounging around Soda Lake, while vultures are often feeding on the discarded prey of a predator. Other birds include storks and geese. Your guide will be in close contact with the other safari drivers, and his impressive ability to track down hidden animals will assure you an eventful day.

We will have dinner and spend the night at Lake Manyara.

In the morning, we will depart for Lake Manyara, where we will spend the day and enjoy a delectable picnic lunch. The park is nestled at the base of the rusty-gold Great Rift Valley escarpment, and the scenic landscape is breathtakingly magnificent.

An abundance of species can reside in the park due to its wide range of habitats. The park's record consists of over 380 species of birds, some of which are migratory, making it an ideal location for bird watchers.

Thousands of pink-hued flamingos occupy the lake's margin; other large water birds include pelicans, storks, and cormorants. The wildlife you can expect to see includes buffalo, elephants, giraffes, impalas, and the ferocious hippos that inhabit the water.

Our trip will come to an end in the late afternoon. We will proceed to Arusha, where you will overnight at Mrimba Palm Hotel on a bed and breakfast basis.
