DAY 1

1. TRANSFER TO TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK.

In the morning hours, arrive at the Kilimanjaro International Airport where you will be met by our company representative for a short briefing about this 3 Day Tarangire/ Ngorongoro crater and Lake Manyara safari, we drive to Tarangire National Park, for excellent game viewing. Tarangire is a small park which offers some excellent sights. Generally in the dry seasons Tarangire comes alive as wildlife and birdlife congregate on the river, which is a permanent source of water. We spend the night at Fanaka lodge

DAY 2

• NGORONGORO CRATER

• GAME VIEWING

After breakfast early in the morning, we head to Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Ngorongoro is a special place in that the local Masai people graze their cattle alongside the indigenous wildlife. After stopping at the entrance gate, where there is a chance to learn more about this fascinating volcanic landscape, we will drive around the rim of the Crater itself, and from here we can look down and see the herd of wildebeest or buffalos. Finally we descend into the crater. The crater walls provide a natural sanctuary for the animals, which means there is plenty to see: lions, elephants, buffalo, rhino and leopard (if you are lucky. After game viewing you will back at Mto wa Mbu near to Lake Manyara for overnight at Fanaka lodge

DAY 3

• TRANSFER TO LAKE MANYARA NATIONAL PARK

• GAME DRIVES

Today we drive to Lake Manyara National Park for a full day of game drives. This is one of Tanzania’s smaller parks but still offers a rewarding and diverse safari experience. The lakeshore at Manyara teems with birdlife, and while you are looking for the birds, you might spot one of the elusive tree-climbing lions. There are a surprising number of other large mammals and the striking cliffs on the Rift escarpment form a dramatic backdrop. In the late afternoon you will back to Arusha for flight back home.
