3-Day Upper Mid-Range Safari: Tarangire, Ngorongoro & Manyara
Why this Package
On this 3-day safari tour, explore the diverse landscapes of Tarangire, the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, and the scenic shores of Lake Manyara, each offering unique wildlife experiences and stunning vistas. Your adventure begins in Arusha, where you will be welcomed before heading to Tarangire National Park, famous for its large elephant herds and iconic baobab trees. After a day of game drives, unwind at Bougainvillea Safari Lodge, a comfortable retreat in Karatu, known for its hearty buffet meals and cozy cottage-style rooms with en-suite bathrooms and verandas.
As you journey to Ngorongoro, the Lemala Ngorongoro Tented Camp awaits, offering an intimate experience with canvas tents that provide a perfect blend of comfort and nature. Enjoy chef-led camp cuisine, including early breakfasts and delightful picnic hampers for your crater explorations. The camp's proximity to the crater allows for quick access to witness the incredible wildlife, including the famed Big Five.
Finally, you will visit Lake Manyara, renowned for its flamingos and tree-climbing lions. Each park offers a distinct rhythm and view, making multiple nights essential for a deeper connection with Tanzania's wildlife and landscapes. This journey is perfect for first-time visitors or those looking to combine their safari with a trip to Kilimanjaro or Zanzibar.

Book with the Right Tour Operator
