Day 1: Arusha – Tarangire National Park
Non-game-viewing travel time: 2 ½ hours
Distance: 152.7 km
You will meet our professional driver-guide at your hotel, who will provide a brief safari orientation. After breakfast, we will drive to Tarangire National Park for game viewing. The park runs along the Tarangire River and is primarily composed of low-lying hills on the Great Rift Valley floor. Its natural vegetation consists mainly of acacia woodlands and iconic giant African baobab trees, with expansive swamp areas in the south. Both the river and the swamps serve as magnets for wildlife during Tanzania’s dry season. Tarangire National Park is renowned for hosting some of the largest elephant herds in Africa. It is also home to three rare species: the greater kudu, the fringed-eared oryx, and a few ashy starlings. You will enjoy dinner and overnight accommodations at your choice of lodge, tented camp, hotel, basic camp, or luxury facility.
Day 2: Ngorongoro Crater Tour – Lake Manyara National Park
Non-game-viewing travel time: 1 hour
Distance: 45 km
Our day begins early in the morning. After breakfast, we will descend 2,000 feet to the crater floor in our 4×4 vehicle for game viewing. Let’s explore this “Garden of Eden.” Ngorongoro is a vast and deep volcanic crater featuring rich pastures, swamps, forests, and permanent water, all of which contribute to the diversity and abundance of wildlife. Up to 25,000 large animals inhabit this area, making it an excellent opportunity to see black rhinos and other rare species, such as the black-maned lion. We will have a fantastic day witnessing wildlife at its best. In the late afternoon, we will return to your lodge, tented camp, hotel, basic camp, or luxury accommodation for dinner and an overnight stay.
Day 3: Lake Manyara Tour – Arusha
Non-game-viewing travel time: 2 hours
Distance: 130.7 km
After your breakfast, and then we drive to Lake Manyara National Park. This impressive National Park is one of Tanzania’s most dramatically located wildlife areas, consisting of a massive but shallow soda lake (covering two-thirds of the park) at the foot of the Great Rift Valley’s western escarpment. The Park’s varied habitat attracts a wide variety of animals, including one of Africa’s largest concentrations of Elephants; Manyara is famous for a Tree-climbing lion, as well as large flocks of flamingos attracted by the algae in the lake. Late afternoon we return back to Arusha town and you will be dropped at your Lodge/Hotel. End of tour.
