Detailed Itinerary
Pick up from Arusha early in the morning and drive for around two hours along an excellent paved road to Tarangire National Park; along the way when you take the Arusha – Dodoma Road past Makuyuni Junction. Tarangire National Park is the place to be if you want to see elephant herds in their immense numbers and other big game and birdlife.
Dotted with gigantic baobab trees, the Tarangire National Park is one of the parks where you can see most of the big five, including the leopards, Buffaloes, lions, and elephants, except the Rhino. The park derives its name from the Tarangire River, which flows across the park, ensuring it is teeming with wildlife throughout the year. You will do game drives until later in the afternoon, then transfer to Mto wa Mbu, where you will spend the night at a campsite near Lake Manyara. Lunch and dinner included.
Today, you will spend most of the day at the base of the ‘World’s Largest Caldera,’ doing game drives to spot all of the Big Five and many other animals that can be seen at very close range in this area. Ngorongoro Crater boasts the largest concentration of wild animals in their natural habitat. Lunch will be a picnic lunch at one of the picnic sites, and later in the afternoon, you will drive up the Crater rim, where you can camp at Simba Campsite or return to Mto wa Mbu to check in again at your campsite. Request the price to stay at the Crater’s rim if you wish. All meals include breakfast, lunch/lunch box, and dinner.
Your professionally trained safari cooks freshly prepared breakfast at your campsite. Then, you enter the Lake Manyara National Park at the base of the Great Rift Valley, which runs from North to South Africa. The 3rd and last day of your safari will be spent at this small gem of a park, which is constantly lush green with leafy green forests fed by underground rivers, making it a lovely park regardless of size. You will do game drives in the few plains inside this park while elephants and giraffes can be spotted as you pass the forests from the park’s entrance.
The park is also home to thousands of primates, including cheeky monkeys and large troops of baboons that reside in this wildlife park. The lake itself makes up for two-thirds of the park (220 Km Square), and at the shores of the lake, you will see a lot of hippos as well as aquatic birds like cormorants, Egyptian geese, herons, as well the Greater and lesser flamingos that flock in this lake. Later in the afternoon, depending on your schedule, you will be transferred back to Arusha, where your safari ends.
