3 Days Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater & Tarangire Safari

Arusha to Lake Manyara to NCA

Pick up in the morning from your hotel in Arusha and leave for Lake Manyara National Park along with a picnic lunch for a full day game drive. Positioned on the edge of the Rift valley, Lake Manyara is a exceptionally species-rich reserve, primarily known for its birds, elephants, flamingos, and tree-climbing lions.

En-route to Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti, Lake Manyara is a well-deserving stop in its own right. Its forests, bush plains, baobab-strewn cliffs, and hot springs offer an unbelievable variety in a small area. The alkaline soda lake is home to a fantastic array of birdlife with the best birding moments from November to April. During this time, migratory birds from Europe and Northern Africa can be seen, and many birds can be seen in their breeding plumage.

Ngorongoro Crater Tour to Tarangire

After breakfast around 07:00 AM head to Ngorongoro Crate. On arrival you shall descend into the Ngorongoro Crater. The entire conservation area is a home to more than 25,000 animals

The Ngorongoro landscape is truly breathtaking with sun glitters off the Lake Magadi, the sheer size of the Caldera and the shadows of cloud dappling the Caldera Floor

The safari at Ngorongoro Crater will last for approximately 5 hrs and during the course of which you shall spot animals like Lion, Zebra, Rhino, Elephant, Buffalo, Leopard, Cheetah, Giraffe, Wildebeest, Flamingos, Hippos, and much more. By afternoon we stop for a late lunch on the crater floor and post which with head full of amazing memories, you'll head to Taranagire.

After a 2 hour drive, the day will come to an end. Delicious dinner will be kept ready for you at your accommodation. The next day you will start the last day of your safari.

Tarangire to Arusha

After an early breakfast proceed to Tarangire National Park. It is made up of low-lying, rolling hills, natural vegetation of acacia woodland, and giant baobabs altered by huge areas of swamp. The swamps of black cotton mud produce rich grasslands, while the watercourses are lined by huge trees including sycamore fig, tamarind and sausage trees. Tarangire features some of the greatest concentrations of game in Tanzania, second only to the Ngorongoro crater but with far fewer tourists. There are several dry-country species such as eland, oryx, Grant’s gazelle, and gerenuk. These are unlikely to be seen in the bigger parks to the west. Birdlife is plentiful all year round, but bird watching is at its best when the European and North African migratory birds are present (November to April). Nesting among the resident birds takes place during the same time.

By mid-afternoon, you will branch out and head towards Arusha, where you will be dropped off to your preferred location by about 6 PM. With an unbelievable experience and loads of recollections to cherish, this is the time you bid goodbye to our team.
