Day-by-day detailed itinerary for 3 days of Tanzania safari to Ngorongoro and Tarangire
Day 1: Tarangire National Park.
Following an early morning breakfast at your accommodation, you leave Arusha for Tarangire National Park. This park, covering approximately 2600 square kilometers, is spectacular in the dry season when many of the migratory wildlife species come back to the permanent waters of the Tarangire River. Huge herds of wildebeest, zebras, elephants, eland, and oryx gather to stay in Tarangire until the onset of the rains, when they migrate again to excellent grazing areas. Expect to encounter large herds of elephants while here that are accustomed to vehicles. You will enjoy your lunch at the park and later have an evening game drive before heading to your accommodation for dinner and an overnight stay.
Meals: Lunch and Dinner
Day 2: Ngorongoro Crater.
After an early morning breakfast, you will head for a morning game drive at Ngorongoro Crater, the eighth wonder of the world and one of Africa’s best wildlife areas. This place offers a unique biosphere, which has remained virtually unchanged since the dawn of time. Thousands of large mammals can be found in the crater, including elephants, rhinos, and lions. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) is an extensive highland area along the eastern arm of the Rift Valley, with the world-renowned Ngorongoro Crater as its focal point. Ngorongoro was established to conserve wildlife and other natural resources. It also safeguards the interests of indigenous people and promotes tourism. While here, you will enjoy wildlife sightings with all the big games available. Later in the afternoon, you’ll stay for dinner and overnight.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
Day 3: Lake Manyara—Arusha
After an early morning breakfast at your accommodation, you will head out for an early morning game drive in Lake Manyara National Park, where you will enjoy more of the sighting experience. The lake occupies 70% of the park’s 330 sq. km. The varied ecosystem consists of groundwater forests, acacia woodland, and open grassland along the lakeshore and sustains a wealth of wildlife, including the big five—lion, elephant, leopard, rhino, and buffalo. The park is famous for the elusive tree-climbing lions that inhabit the woodland between the lake and the rift valley. We head back to the lodge for lunch and return to Arusha afterward.
