3 DAYS TANZNIA SAFARIS
TOUR OVERVIEW
Our 3 day safari offers amazing game viewing opportunities at three superb National Parks, each one unique in its own way. The Ngorongoro Crater is world famous for its vast array of wildlife contained within a relatively small area. The crater offers travellers the best chance of seeing all the Big 5 in a single day! Tarangire National Park is home to the largest elephant population on the planet as well as hundreds of different bird species. Lake Manyara boasts a huge colony of baboons as well as unusual tree climbing lions. You will have exclusive use of a Africa Shine 4×4 safari vehicle and an expert guide who will show you the best locations to spot the wildlife.
Itinerary
Day 1 Manyara
You will be met by your guide and vehicle and driven to Lake Manyara, arriving with plenty of time for an afternoon game-drive. Located beneath the cliffs of the Manyara Escarpment, on the edge of the Rift Valley, Lake Manyara National Park is famous for its large alkaline soda lake which is home to the pink flamingo, yellow-billed stork and heron. If you are lucky you may get chance to see the tree climbing lions, which are unique to this national park. Watch out though for some fun and antics from the local baboon population; Lake Manyara is believed to have the largest number of these primates in the World!
Day 2 -Ngorongoro Crator
After an early breakfast, you will drive to the fascinating wildlife arena of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a “must see” safari destination. Home to more than 25,000 large mammals – it is not unusual to see all of the ‘Big Five’ (buffalo, elephant, rhino, lion and leopard) in a single day. The crater, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is over 260km2 (100 miles2) and was formed when a massive volcano exploded and collapsed on itself 2 – 3 million years ago. It is now the largest intact volcanic caldera in the world and often referred to as “Africa’s Eden”. Driving through the Ngorongoro Highlands, you will arrive at the crater rim and then descend down 610m (2000 feet) onto its’ floor to start your safari extravaganza.
Day 3 -Tarangire
A must for avid birdwatchers, boasting over 550 different bird species, the most diverse in Africa, including the Kori Bustard, the heaviest flying bird in the World! The Tarangire River runs through the park attracting a huge number of elephants, buffalo, giraffe and antelope, particularly in the dry season between June to October. It is not uncommon to see large herds of elephants roaming through Tarangire’s savannah grasses or taking shade under the odd looking “upside down trees” (baobab) that are dotted around the park. Following a morning game-drive you will transfer to your hotel in Arusha or to Kilimanjaro Airport.
