Why this Package
On this 3-Day safari tour, traverse the stunning landscapes of Lake Manyara, the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, and the iconic wildlife-rich Tarangire. Enjoy the rustic charm of Karatu Simba Lodge, where you can savor hearty meals featuring fresh local produce, and relax in spacious cottages that blend seamlessly with nature.
Your journey begins at Lake Manyara, known for its tree-climbing lions and vibrant birdlife. After a day of exploration, retreat to your lodge, which offers a tranquil atmosphere and a large swimming pool for unwinding after your adventures. The full-board service ensures you experience a delightful mix of international and Tanzanian cuisine, with early breakfasts and picnic lunches available for your safari days.
Next, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where the chance to spot the Big Five awaits. The lodge's location allows for a comfortable drive to the crater gate, making it convenient for early morning game drives. After a day filled with wildlife encounters, return to the lodge to enjoy communal dining and share stories of your day's adventures.
Your final stop is Tarangire, famous for its massive elephant herds and striking baobab trees. Stay at Olkambe Simba Lodge Tarangire, where spacious chalet-style rooms provide comfort for families and groups. The buffet-style meals cater to diverse tastes, ensuring everyone is well-fed for the day's explorations. With easy access to the park, you can maximize your time in this remarkable wildlife haven.
This tour is perfect for first-time visitors or those looking to combine their safari experience with a trip to Kilimanjaro or Zanzibar. The combination of multiple nights in different parks allows for deeper wildlife immersion and relaxation, making it a memorable adventure.

Book with the Right Tour Operator
Each safari company has its own strengths — some specialize in luxury safaris, some in mid-range, and some in budget trips. Their expertise depends on years of experience in specific price categories, the quality of their guides and vehicles, and the lodge partnerships they’ve built over time.
