4-Day Tanzania Safari through Tarangire, Manyara and Ngorongoro

A tour representative will pick you up at the airport and drive you to your lodging in Arusha, where you will spend the night, unwind, and get ready for the activities ahead.

• At the start of the day, we will collect you from your hotel in Arusha, where our safari guide will welcome you with a broad smile as you prepare for the adventure ahead.
• We then drive to Tarangire on a good road that takes us across gently rolling Maasai plains dotted with acacia trees. Along the way, we pass many Maasai in their colourful clothing walking by the roadside, riding bicycles, herding cattle, and driving donkey carts. Tarangire National Park, notable for its huge elephant herds, offers a varied landscape of seasonal swamps, savannah, and the life-giving Tarangire River, which winds its way through the park. From the open top of the vehicle, we will search for the animals that live here, including zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, elephant, and giraffe. We may also see lions stalking their prey or leopards relaxing in the trees.
• After an extensive game drive, we leave the park and head to our nearby stop, where we enjoy dinner and relax for the night.

• After breakfast, we travel 120 kilometres west of Arusha to Lake Manyara National Park, a small but fascinating park.
• The park's namesake is a shallow salt lake that covers around 70% of the parklands. It floods and dries with the seasons and is home to hundreds of bird species, including thousands of flamingos.
• As we explore the park, we will see monkeys, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffalo, elephants, and perhaps even lions relaxing in the trees.
• In the late afternoon, we return to our lodge for dinner, a digestif by the fire, conversation, and time to reflect on the images of the wild gathered throughout the day before retiring for a well-deserved rest.

• After an early breakfast, we leave our hotel for a drive through the Rift Valley to the cooler highlands of Ngorongoro. The Ngorongoro Crater, the world's biggest volcanic caldera, was formed by the massive eruption of a volcano once higher than Kilimanjaro many years ago. It is nearly 20 km wide, approximately 600 m deep, and is known for its huge variety of wildlife, including the 'Big Five' - lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard. It is widely recognised as one of the wonders of the world and is truly magnificent. In addition to the Big Five, the crater's springs attract wildebeest, gazelle, reedbuck, and more than 500 bird species.
• At a picnic site, we enjoy our delicious lunch before continuing with more game viewing in the crater.
• We leave the crater in the evening, driving up the steep winding track as we make our way back to Arusha, bringing our adventure to an end with lasting memories of the African wilds.
