3-Day Upper Mid-Range Safari: Tarangire & Ngorongoro with Lion's Paw Camp
Why this Package
For families, this 3-Day safari tour mixes reliable sightings with varied scenery day to day, exploring Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara. Your adventure begins at Africa Safari Rift Valley, a mid-range lodge just outside Karatu, where you can enjoy hearty meals served buffet-style and plated, including early breakfasts and lunch boxes for your crater or Manyara safaris. The lodge offers a mix of safari-style tents and bungalow rooms, all equipped with en-suite bathrooms, ensuring a comfortable stay after your daily explorations.
On the second day, you will stay at the luxurious Ngorongoro Lion's Paw Camp, located just a short drive from the crater entrance. This camp features spacious suites with stunning views of the lower Lake Magadi, perfect for unwinding after a day of wildlife viewing. Enjoy meals in a tastefully furnished restaurant, with the option to dine under the stars on the veranda when the weather permits.
With one night in Tarangire, you’ll have the chance to witness the park's famous elephants, while the Ngorongoro Crater offers a unique opportunity to see diverse wildlife in a breathtaking setting. The combination of these parks ensures a rich experience, making it ideal for first-time visitors or those looking to combine their safari with a trip to Zanzibar or Kilimanjaro.

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. None of this is visible on websites or forums, which is why NMT connects you directly with the operators best suited to your safari tier.
