What makes this tour special
Itinerary
After breakfast, depart from Arusha and drive to Tarangire National Park for an exciting wildlife safari. Famous for its large elephant populations, ancient baobab trees, and seasonal wildlife concentrations, Tarangire offers excellent opportunities to experience Tanzania’s diverse wildlife.
Enjoy a game drive across the park’s savannah, riverine habitats, and open woodland while searching for elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, impalas, and, with luck, lions and leopards. Enjoy a picnic lunch during the safari before continuing your afternoon game drive.
Later, proceed to your designated budget campsite for dinner and an overnight stay under the African night sky.
After breakfast, travel toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and descend into the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater for an unforgettable game drive. This extraordinary volcanic caldera supports a rich variety of wildlife and offers some of Tanzania’s most rewarding wildlife-viewing opportunities.
Explore open grasslands, wetlands, and woodland habitats in search of lions, African buffaloes, elephants, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, and other animals. The crater is also one of the places where you may have a chance to spot the endangered black rhino, although wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed.
Enjoy a picnic lunch during your crater excursion before continuing to your designated campsite for dinner and overnight accommodation.
After breakfast, continue to Lake Manyara National Park for a final wildlife adventure. The park is known for its groundwater forest, picturesque lake, diverse birdlife, and varied wildlife habitats.
During your game drive, look for elephants, baboons, blue monkeys, giraffes, zebras, antelopes, and hippos. Depending on the season and conditions, you may also see flamingos and other waterbirds along the lake. Lake Manyara is also famous for reports of tree-climbing lions, although sightings are not guaranteed.
After your game drive, begin the return journey to Arusha, concluding your 3-day budget camping safari in Tanzania.
