3 Days Safari (Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire)

Day 1

After breakfast, we will pick you up at your hotel and drive to Lake Manyara National Park. We will proceed on a game drive inside the park. This park is beautiful and noted for its tree climbing lions, flamingoes, and high number of bird species. Elephants, giraffes, zebras, ostriches, and baboons are commonly seen here. In the later afternoon, we will then exit the park and drive to Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) before their gates close at 6 pm. Note: This location tends to be cold and windy since there is a high elevation (7,500 ft/2,286 m). Note: There is an option of instead staying just outside of the NCA (less expensive but not an "in the wild experience"). Drive hours from Moshi: 3.5-4 hours Drive hour Lake Manyara - NCA: 1 hour Meals: picnic lunch and dinner

After breakfast, we will venture into the World Heritage Site of Ngorongoro Crater. This is one of the premier safari destinations in the world, with a high density of animals and a wide variety of species present. It is one of the few places where the “Big 5” might all be spotted within a few hours. But the crater is not very large, just 20km in diameter, so in 4 - 5 hours, all will be seen. At that time, we ascend out of the crater and drive to Tarangire National Park. There will be a short game drive this evening. Overnight will be inside of Tarangire. Non-game-viewing drive hours: 2 hours Meals: Breakfast, picnic lunch, and dinner

Morning game drive. Tarangire is best known for its high concentration of elephants and giraffes. The landscape is quite lovely, dotted with giant baobab trees and enormous termite mounds. In the afternoon, we return to Arusha, Moshi, or Kilimanjaro Airport Drive hours Tarangire - JRO Arusha /Moshi (2.5 - 4 hrs) Meals: Breakfast and picnic lunch
