This 3-day Northern Tanzania safari is a short but highly rewarding wildlife experience covering three of the most iconic national parks in Tanzania. Starting from Arusha, you will explore the elephant-rich plains of Tarangire National Park, descend into the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater, and finish with the scenic beauty and tree-climbing lions of Lake Manyara National Park before returning to Arusha.
This safari is ideal for travelers with limited time who still want to experience a full variety of landscapes, wildlife, and unforgettable African scenery in just three days.
You will be picked up from your stay in Arusha town and start a beautiful journey to Tarangire National Park while carrying lunch boxes. Once the game drive is over, you will drive back to the lodge for relaxation and an overnight stay.
Tarangire National Park is well known for its large elephant herds, consisting of a diversity of landscapes, from seasonal swamps to savanna with the Tarangire River wending its way through the parklands. It is possible that you will have the experience of seeing a lion stalking his prey or leopards watching whilst relaxing in the trees above. Once the game drives are done, you will drive to your lodge for relaxation, dinner and your overnight stay.
After breakfast, you will depart to Ngorongoro for a game drive inside Ngorongoro Crater while carrying lunch boxes.
This park constitutes the largest uninterrupted caldera in the world and is one of the Natural Wonders of Africa, with the presence of about 30,000 large mammals resident all year round (such as buffaloes, lions, elephants, cheetahs and rhinos) and many varieties of birds such as flamingos, eagles, and buzzards. Be ready to see many animals here within a short time. Once the game drive is over, you will drive back to the lodge for relaxation and an overnight stay.
After breakfast, you will depart to Lake Manyara National Park for game drives while carrying lunch boxes. Once you finish the game drive, you will be transferred to Arusha town near Arusha Clocktower where the safari ends.
The park is famous for the arboreal lions, which hide among the branches of the trees, and numerous colonies of baboons that populate the forest and will accompany you along the road from the moment you enter the park.
