Crater rhino prospects pair with dry-season elephant gatherings in this 3-Day safari tour through Tarangire and the Ngorongoro Crater. Experience the best of both worlds with a mix of upper mid-range and luxury accommodations, ensuring a comfortable yet adventurous journey.

Your adventure begins at Tarangire Simba Lodge, an upper mid-range option by Lake Burunge. This lodge is perfect for families and value-conscious travelers, offering large rooms, a pool, and sunset decks. Meals here are hearty and practical, featuring buffet breakfasts, packed picnic lunches, and buffet dinners that include both international and Swahili dishes. The rooms are spacious, featuring en-suite bathrooms, mosquito nets, and verandas that allow you to soak in the surrounding beauty.

After a night in Tarangire, you’ll head to the Sanctuary Ngorongoro Crater Camp, where elegant tented hospitality awaits. With its prime near-rim position, you’ll enjoy minimal commute to the crater floor. The camp offers refined, chef-led menus, including early breakfasts and unhurried dinners complemented by a curated wine list. Your spacious canvas tent features a king bed, fine linens, and an en-suite bathroom with hot showers, providing a luxurious retreat after a day of exploration.

Accessibility is a key feature of both lodges. At Sanctuary Ngorongoro, you can descend into the crater just 15 minutes after the gate opens, maximizing your wildlife viewing opportunities. Meanwhile, Tarangire Simba Lodge is conveniently located for early starts to catch the dawn game drives, ensuring you don’t miss the chance to see the iconic elephants and baobabs that Tarangire is famous for.

This 3-day safari is ideal for first-time visitors looking to experience the stunning landscapes and diverse wildlife of Tanzania. With the combination of luxury and comfort, you’ll create unforgettable memories while witnessing the incredible wildlife in their natural habitat.
