3-Day Luxury Safari from Zanzibar with Tarangire and Ngorongoro

In the morning, you'll take a flight from Zanzibar to Arusha, where we'll be there to welcome you. From there, we'll drive for around 2 hours to Tarangire National Park. Get ready to immerse yourself in the wonders of wildlife. Our accommodation for the night will be at Lake Manyara Kilimamoja Lodge.

Covering an expansive area of nearly 3,000 square kilometers, Tarangire National Park is most renowned for its abundant elephant population and iconic baobab trees. The park derives its name from the Tarangire River that flows through its landscape. The dry season (June - November) is an especially remarkable time to visit, as the concentration of wildlife matches that of the Serengeti.

The Tarangire River becomes a magnet for many elephants and other creatures, serving as their vital water source. Boasting diverse habitats and a consistent water supply from the Tarangire River, the park provides a habitat for over 2,000 elephants and 500 species of birds.

Accommodation: Lake Manyara Kilimamoja Lodge

Following breakfast, we'll begin descending into the crater for an exciting game tour. Later, you'll be driven back to Karatu, where you'll spend the night at Lake Manyara Kilimamoja Lodge.

Referred to as the eighth marvel of the natural world, the Ngorongoro Crater stands as the largest unbroken crater in the world, formed through volcanic activity around 2 million years ago. The eruption of the Ngorongoro volcano led to the collapse of its walls, resulting in a sunken volcano floor naturally enclosed by towering walls reaching a height of 600 meters.

Presently spanning over 19 kilometers in width, the Ngorongoro Crater is a diverse expanse encompassing acacia forests, marshes teeming with hippos, and open grasslands. These distinct ecosystems provide a habitat for more than 30,000 animals, including elephants, warthogs, vibrant flamingoes, rare black rhinoceroses, and the full spectrum of predatory felines. Amidst this, you can observe the Maasai tending to their cattle alongside buffalo and wildebeest herds.

Today, after breakfast, you will be picked up by your safari guide and driven to Lake Manyara National Park for a game drive. Later, you will drive back to Arusha and proceed to Kilimanjaro International Airport for your flight back to Zanzibar.

Lake Manyara is a small but beautiful park that is famous for its tree-climbing lions, elephants, and large troops of baboons. The park is home to a wide variety of birds and animals despite its size. A short visit to this serene park will greatly diversify your safari experience, as the lush green jungle habitat starkly contrasts with the other parks you will visit during your safari.
