3 Days Tanzania Safari
Explore Tours
You will three jewels of northern Tanzania’s diverse crown: Lake Manyara National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater and the Tarangire National Park which offers a collection of memorable experiences in a short while. In just 3 days you will explore one of Africa’s seven natural wonders – the Ngorongoro Crater and the Tarangire National Park which blusters a lot of species for both vegetation and animals. Tarangire is well-known for their endless plains of savannah and their colossal elephant herds. Finally Lake Manyara National Park, one of Tanzania’s most dramatically located wildlife areas, consisting of a shallow but huge soda lake, located at the foot of the Great Rift Valley’s western escarpment.

Tour Plan
Starting at your accommodation around 8:00 am, you will receive a short briefing about the safari and then depart to the National Park. The Tarangire National Park is located South of Lake Manyara. The river from which the park takes its name is the primary source of water for the local wildlife, making it the perfect place to spot large concentration of animals like elephants (largest concentration in the country), wildebeests and zebras. Big cats are also frequent in the dry season, and the abundance of baobab trees will surely make it possible for you to collect amazing African postcards. Lunch will take place at a picnic place overlooking the Tarangire river, and after more game viewing in the park we will be drive to your accommodation.
The park is very famous for having the greatest elephant population in Tanzania, and during a safari there you will have the chance of quietly observing many families of elephants interacting. With a stop for a picnic lunch in an observatory inside the park where you will be able to view animals drinking water in the river (and many times lions attacking a thirsty zebra or wildebeest), continue game viewing and finally return to hotel for dinner and overnight.
Start early in the day to visit the Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest inactive, intact and unfilled volcanic caldera, formed when a huge volcano exploded and collapsed on itself. In the present days, however, far from being a destructive source of hot lava, it’s actually a natural paradise considered one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa, home to nearly 25 000 large animals, including black rhinoceros, buffaloes, hippos and big cats. The park is also classed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The tour will stop for lunch at a picnic place near a lake, and continue in the afternoon. Return to the campsite to dinner and overnight.
Your full day game drive in Lake Manyara will start early in the morning. Located south west of Arusha, Lake Manyara, despite its relatively small area, is a real shrine to natural life. Possessing a diverse flora that includes over 670 species of flowering plants and ferns as well as dense forests of acacias and giant figs, the park is also home to a vibrant fauna, with large populations of wildebeests, zebras and gazelles, hippos, tree-climbing lions, cheetahs, and more than 350 species of birds, being the most famous the massive flocks of flamingoes that feed there during the wet season. The tour includes a stop for lunch, and will resume after this, before you are driven back to your accommodation in Arusha.
