3-Day Tanzania Safari Tarangire And Ngorongoro
This 3-day Tanzania safari is carefully designed to give travelers an unforgettable introduction to the country’s incredible wildlife and breathtaking landscapes. It offers an exciting and immersive African safari experience within a short time, perfect for those seeking a memorable adventure.
The journey begins in Tarangire National Park, a remarkable park famous for its large elephant herds, diverse wildlife, and the iconic ancient baobab trees that dominate the landscape.
The safari continues to the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater, one of Africa’s most breathtaking natural wonders. This UNESCO World Heritage Site offers some of the best wildlife viewing opportunities in Tanzania and is widely regarded as one of the best places in Africa to spot the legendary Big Five in their natural habitat.
Day 1 Arrival in Arusha
You will be picked up from the airport and conveyed to your accommodation in Arusha where you will overnight, relax, and prepare in anticipation of the adventures to come
Day: 2 Arusha To Tarangire National Park
In the morning you will be collected from your lodge in Arusha by our personal safari guide. We set out for Tarangire National Park on a good tarmac road across gently rolling Masai plains with scattered acacia trees. As we zip along we pass many Masai in their colorful dress walking on the roadside, riding bicycles, herding cattle, and driving donkey’s carts. Tarangire National Park, well known for its large elephant herds, is also host to a multitude of other creatures. From the open roof of our state of the art safari jeep, we experience the seasonal swamps, savanna, and life-giving Tarangire River endeavoring to encounter a multitude of creatures from zebra to wildebeest, buffalo, elephant, and giraffe, to name but a few. It is possible we will glimpse lion stalking prey or leopards watching, relaxing in the trees above.
After a full day in the park we will drive to the excellently appointed lodge where we enjoy dinner in the aesthetically delightful restaurant, relax, and spend the night in her capacious rooms.
Day: 3 Ngorongoro Crater
Rise and shine! It is an early departure to the lush highlands of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Once you have reached the crater rim, you will drive down a steep track into the 600 m deep caldera to see a range of animals and birds. The caldera (collapsed volcano) is home to over 25,000 mammals ranging from the “Big Five” (lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, leopard) and more than 500 species of birds.
After an extensive game drive and a picnic lunch in the crater, you will return to Arusha, where you will arrive in the early evening.
