4-Day Tanzania Safari to Arusha, Tarangire, Manyara and Ngorongoro

After breakfast, you'll depart from your accommodation in Arusha or Moshi and drive to Arusha National Park. After entering the park, you will embark on a game drive through its varied landscapes, passing landmarks such as the Momella Lakes and Ngurdoto Crater, sometimes known as "Little Ngorongoro."

Your safari vehicle will also pass beneath the Fig tree (Ficus thonningii), whose roots have grown into the shape of an arch large enough for a safari car - even elephant-sized - to pass underneath. You may stop, get out of the car, and take pictures here.

At lunchtime, you will stop at a picnic site to enjoy your meal before continuing with the game drive. At around four o'clock, you will leave the national park and return to Arusha, where you will spend the night.

After breakfast, hop into a four-by-four elongated Land Cruiser with a pop-up roof, specially designed for African safaris. You will then proceed to Tarangire National Park, where you will enjoy a game drive until lunchtime.

You will stop at a picnic site for lunch and then continue with the afternoon game drive. At around four o'clock, you will depart from the national park and drive to Manyara for dinner and your overnight stay.

After breakfast, you'll enter Lake Manyara National Park. The park is truly a photographer's playground and offers some of the best game viewing in the world.

You can expect to see many of Africa's most well-known animals, with the tree-climbing lions being a particular treat. These proud predators lounge in acacia trees, practically begging to be photographed.

Bird watchers will find Lake Manyara an absolute delight, with a wide variety of birds on display throughout the park. Even the novice can expect to be amazed by large flamingo flocks, circling birds of prey, and the brightly coloured lilac-breasted roller.

You'll then retire to the campsite at the crater rim for dinner and a good night's rest.

After breakfast, you'll enter the Ngorongoro Crater, sometimes considered the 8th Wonder of the World. Home to over 120 species of mammal, including the fabled Big Five, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is one of the most sought-after safari destinations in the world.

It's a particularly good place to see the endangered black rhinoceros enjoying a lonely meal out on the grass plains, as well as large numbers of hippopotami enjoying the cool water. The crater also features an extensive bird population, including geese, storks, vultures, and lovely flamingos on Soda Lake.

Our highly skilled guides will impress you with their ability to track down animals. This is a skill that a book cannot teach and that only a selected few can perform.

From the comfort of your open-top vehicle, you'll be able to observe and photograph some of Africa's most recognizable faces. The crater is home to many predators, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, jackals, hyenas, and a large population of wildebeest, zebras, antelope, Cape buffalo, and more. It is truly one of Africa's premier safari destinations.

After the thrills and excitement of the day, you will have a picnic lunch by the park's famous hippo pool. After that, you will drive back to Arusha or Moshi in the late afternoon, bringing your trip to an end.
