3-DAY SAFARI
(LAKE MANYARA / NGORONGORO CRATER / TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK)
3 DAY SAFARI OVERVIEW
Kilimanjaro Vacation’s 3-day safari, is specifically a package that includes the Lake Manyara National Park,
Ngorongoro Crater & Tarangire National Park it has been designed to offer
you a short but intense Tanzanian Northern Circuit safari experience, for a
shorter and time controlled period of 3 days / 2 nights. You will experience
the thrill of game viewing in three of the most spectacular national game parks
in Tanzania.
Day 1: Arusha to Lake
Manyara
Non
game-viewing travel time: 2 ½ hours
Distance: 130 km
Meet our professional
tour driver/guide in Arusha town, for a short safari briefing, there after
which, we take our journey to the Lake Manyara National Park; arrive in time
for lunch at the lodge. After lunch we head into the Lake Manyara National
Park. This remarkable park is one of Tanzania's most vividly located wildlife
areas, consisting of a massive but shallow soda lake (covering two-thirds of
the park) at the foot of the Great Rift Valley's western escarpment. The park's
varied habitat attracts a wide variety of animals, including one of Africa's
largest concentrations of elephants, Manyara's famous tree-climbing lions, as
well as large flocks of flamingos attracted by the algae in the lake. Later in
the evening we head for dinner and overnight as per the standard and type of
accommodation option requested.
Day 2: Lake Manyara
National Park to Ngorongoro Crater
Non
game-viewing travel time: 2 hours & 3 ½ hours
Distance: 60km & 155 km
After early breakfast we
descend 600m into the splendid Ngorongoro crater for a half-day game drive. The
Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most densely crowded African wildlife areas in
the world and is home to an estimated 30,000 animals including some of
Tanzania's last remaining black rhino. Supported by a year round water supply
and fodder, the Ngorongoro Crater supports a vast variety of animals, which
include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant
African elephants. Another big draw card to this charming national park is it's
dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs
and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot.
We will enjoy a picnic lunch in the crater, after which we travel to the
Tarangire National Park. Dinner and overnight as per the standard and type of
accommodation option requested.
Day 3: Tarangire National
Park to Arusha
Non
game-viewing travel time: 2 hours
Distance: 120 km
After early breakfast we
head into the Tarangire National Park for a morning game drive. The park runs
along the line of the Tarangire River and is mainly made up of low-lying hills
on the Great Rift Valley floor. Its natural vegetation mainly consists of
Acacia woodland and giant African Baobab trees, with huge swamp areas in the
south. Both the river and the swamps act like a magnet for wild animals, during
Tanzania's dry season. The Tarangire National Park is reputed to contain some
of the largest elephant herds in Africa. This beautiful national park is also
home to three rare species of animals - the Greater Kudu, the Fringed-eared
Oryx, as well as a few Ashy Starlings. We return to the lodge for lunch after
which we will depart for Arusha town and we will end our safari adventure.
