Tour Overview
A fantastic 3-day camping safari in Tanzania! Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, and the Ngorongoro Crater are indeed some of the most renowned wildlife destinations in East Africa. Here's a bit more information about what you can expect to see in each of these locations:
- Tarangire National Park: Known for its large population of elephants, Tarangire is a great place to witness these majestic animals in their natural habitat. The park is also home to a wide variety of other wildlife, including giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, and various bird species. The Tarangire River, which runs through the park, attracts animals during the dry season, making it an excellent spot for game viewing.
- Lake Manyara National Park: Lake Manyara is famous for its diverse birdlife and is a haven for birdwatchers. The park is home to thousands of flamingos, which create a stunning spectacle when they gather around the lake. You can also spot tree-climbing lions, buffalo, elephants, and other wildlife in the park's diverse ecosystems.
- Ngorongoro Crater: The Ngorongoro Crater is a natural wonder and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's often referred to as the "eighth wonder of the world" due to its unique ecosystem. The crater is home to a high concentration of wildlife, including the "Big Five" (lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhinoceros). You can witness these animals up close in the crater's relatively small and enclosed environment.
This 3-day camping safari offers an excellent opportunity to experience the beauty and diversity of Tanzania's wildlife and landscapes. Camping in these areas allows you to immerse yourself in the natural surroundings and provides an authentic safari experience. Just remember to follow the park rules and respect the animals and their habitats to ensure a sustainable and responsible safari adventure.

However more than 500 other bird species are also found here as well as some wonderful mammals. Troops of monkeys live in the forests, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras and wildebeests on the grassy plains and elephants and lions in the acacia woodlands. From the open roof of the vehicle you will be able to watch the animals and absorb the landscape. After an extensive game drive and a picnic lunch, you will leave the park to make your way to Mto wa Mbu for ovenight stay at Fanaka campsite.
