3 DAYS 2 NIGHTS TARANGIRE,NGORONGORO & LAKE MANYARA

Amazing game viewing opportunities to be had visiting three of Tanzania’s best safari parks.
Each with their own uniqueness; Ngorongoro is a “must see” destination and home to over
25,000 animals giving you the chance to see the Big Five. Tarangire is teeming with bird life and
has the highest elephant population in the World. Lake Manyara boasts a huge colony of
baboons and also tree climbing lions.

DAY 1: LAKE MANYARA

You will be met by your guide and vehicle and driven to Lake Manyara, arriving with plenty of
time for an afternoon game-drive. Located beneath the cliffs of the Manyara Escarpment, on the
edge of the Rift Valley, Lake Manyara National Park is famous for its large alkaline soda lake
which is home to the pink flamingo, yellow-billed stork and heron. If you are lucky you may get
chance to see the tree climbing lions, which are unique to this national park. Watch out though
for some fun and antics from the local baboon population; Lake Manyara is believed to have the
largest number of these primates in the World!

DAY 2: NGORONGORO CRATER

After an early breakfast, you will drive to the fascinating wildlife arena of the Ngorongoro
Conservation Area, a “must see” safari destination. Home to more than 25,000 large mammals
– it is not unusual to see all of the ‘Big Five’ (buffalo, elephant, rhino, lion and leopard) in a
single day. The crater, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is over 260km2 (100 miles2) and was
formed when a massive volcano exploded and collapsed on itself 2 - 3 million years ago. It is
now the largest intact volcanic caldera in the world and often referred to as “Africa’s Eden”.
Driving through the Ngorongoro Highlands, you will arrive at the crater rim and then descend
down 610m (2000 feet) onto its’ floor to start your safari extravaganza.

DAY 3: TARANGIRE

A must for avid birdwatchers, boasting over 550 different bird species, the most diverse in
Africa, including the Kori Bustard, the heaviest flying bird in the World! The Tarangire River runs
through the park attracting a huge number of elephants, buffalo, giraffe and antelope,
particularly in the dry season between June to October. It is not uncommon to see large herds of
elephants roaming through Tarangire's savannah grasses or taking shade under the odd looking
"upside down trees" (baobab) that are dotted around the park. Following a morning game-drive
you will transfer to your hotel in Arusha or to Kilimanjaro Airport.
