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

Your guide will pick you up from your hotel in Arusha at 06:00 am and brief you on the day's program. The 3.5-hour journey from Arusha opens your eyes to the beauty and color of the Tanzanian landscape. The road first passes through the town of Arusha on the way to Tarangire, where you will get to see everyday Tanzanian life. After that, you will continue through coffee plantations, followed by Maasai plains. You might even spot Maasai herdsmen with their flocks of cows and goats searching for better pastures.

Your Nike Tours guide will keep you informed about all the important details and what to expect throughout the day. Upon arrival at the park, all formalities will be handled, and your adventure in wild Tarangire will begin. Elephants are especially popular in Tarangire and can be easily spotted throughout the park, while ancient baobab trees are scattered across the landscape. Your guide will take you to the best spots to look for animals such as zebras, antelopes, lions, giraffes, and buffalos.

Lunch will be served at one of the picnic sites located inside the park, followed by more time for game viewing in the afternoon. After a full day of game driving in Tarangire, you will transfer to Manyara for dinner and an overnight stay.

An early breakfast will be served at your camp or lodge before heading to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Upon arrival, you will descend into the crater for game viewing in the world's largest caldera, a place with astonishing scenery and a very high concentration of animals, including the endangered black rhino. The area is also home to many elephants, so keep your eyes open for these impressive mammals.

Ngorongoro Crater is home to many animals, including 15,000 wildebeest, 9,000 zebras, 400 hyenas, about 120 lions, and around 50 highly endangered black rhinos. The crater also supports a good number of birds, including the augur buzzard, rufous-tailed weaver, fan-tailed widowbird, and anteater chat. The water sources in the crater may be one of the reasons the animals remain concentrated in this area.

After a long day of game viewing, you will retire to Mto wa Mbu for dinner and a night's rest at your lodge or camp.

Begin your exciting day with a hot breakfast at your accommodation before proceeding to Lake Manyara National Park. The park attracts a wide variety of animals, including tree-climbing lions, elephants, and the endangered African wild dog. Large troops of baboons and flocks of flamingos can also be seen decorating the beautiful lake, along with more than 400 other bird species.

As the blazing midday sun continues to bathe the land, game viewing will go on through the park. Later, you will head back to Arusha or Moshi for dinner and an overnight stay.
