3 DAY SAFARI TO TARANGIRE, MANYARA AND NGORONGORO CRATER
01
GAME DRIVE IN TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK.
Today we drive to Tarangire National Park, for excellent game viewing. Tarangire is a small park which offers some excellent sights. Generally, in the dry seasons, Tarangire comes alive as wildlife and birdlife congregate on the Tarangire River, which is a permanent source of water. We spend the night in our lodge beautifully set inside the park with stunning views and a unique atmosphere.
Dinner and overnight at Eileen’s trees Lodge: Full board.

GAME DRIVE IN NGORONGORO CRATER.
We start the day with an early morning game drive before heading to Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
Ngorongoro is a special place in that it is a Conservation Area, not a National Park; this means that the whole area is managed for both the
animals and the local Masai people who graze their cattle alongside the indigenous wildlife.
During the drive in Ngorongoro, we have a chance to glimpse something of the Masai way of life. After stopping at the entrance gate,
where there is a chance to learn more about this fascinating volcanic landscape, we will drive around the rim of the Crater itself,
and from here we can look down and see the herd of wildebeest or buffalos. Finally, we descend into the crater. The crater walls provide a natural
sanctuary for the animals, which means there is plenty to see: lions, elephants, buffalo, rhino and leopard (if you are lucky). The only animal you won’t see in here is a giraffe, whose long legs are unable to cope with the steeps sides of the crater. In the late afternoon, we make a short journey from the crater to our permanent tented camp.
Dinner and overweight at Ngorongoro Acacia Farm Lodge: Full board.

GAME DRIVE IN LAKE MANYARA NATIONAL PARK.
Today we drive to Lake Manyara National Park for a full day of game drives. This is one of Tanzania’s smaller parks but still offers a rewarding and diverse safari experience.
The lakeshore at Manyara teems with birdlife, and while you are looking for the birds, you might spot one of the elusive tree-climbing lions. There are a surprising number of other
large mammals and the striking cliffs on the Rift escarpment form a dramatic backdrop. In the late afternoon, we make a short journey from the park to Arusha.
Dinner and overnight at Arusha Safari Lodge: Half board.
