3-Day Tanzania Safari through Arusha, Tarangire and Lake Manyara

• We meet early at dawn and drive to the alluring and often overlooked Arusha National Park. Arusha is a jewel of Tanzania, with a rich variety of plants and animals that will take your breath away. You will explore the shores of tranquil Lake Momella, reflecting the colors of the sky in its calm waters, and witness the vibrancy of the bush around Ngurdoto Crater, where buffalo, antelope, giraffe, wild boar, zebra, and gazelle roam. These animals live here year-round, so you are likely to see a diverse range of wildlife wherever you go.
• The elusive leopards and elephants tend to be shy in Arusha, but there is also a good chance of seeing them.
• You will also have the opportunity to take a fascinating walk on foot for a completely different experience, feeling the beating pulse of Africa through the soles of your shoes. At a slower pace, you can begin to understand Africa more deeply. You will get up close and personal with the flora and fauna while staying safe, accompanied by an armed ranger who will guide you through lush forest to the clear springs of a shimmering waterfall. Arusha National Park's rangers are extremely knowledgeable, and as you wander, you will learn a great deal about the park's biodiversity. You may also immediately spot a troop of black and white colobus monkeys, famous in the park for their acrobatics, before heading back to Arusha.

Accommodation: Budget, mid-range, and luxury hotels, depending on your selection.

• We head to Tarangire National Park to explore its gigantic termite mounds and ancient baobabs. This park is famous for its many bird species and large elephant population. Lions, giraffes, warthogs, ostriches, impalas, cheetahs, mongooses, buffalo, and mischievous baboons are regularly sighted here. After seeing the wildlife in Tarangire, we continue our journey toward our next highlights, the Ngorongoro Crater and nearby Lake Manyara.

• After breakfast, you will be driven from Arusha to Lake Manyara. Located at the foot of the Great Rift Valley, Lake Manyara National Park offers scenic and diverse landscapes. We will enjoy a picnic in this beautiful park. Its variety of habitats, including tropical rainforest, soda lake, and savannah, supports an extremely diverse ecosystem. The reserve is home to more than four hundred species of birds, some of them migratory, making it a delight for birdwatchers.
• Lake Manyara is also home to legendary tree-climbing lions, as well as buffalo, elephants, giraffes, impalas, and hippos. In the late afternoon, we return to Arusha.
