WSHT002 – 3 Days 2 Nights Tarangire – Ngorongoro – Lake Manyara
Tour Overview
Day 1 Arusha – Tarangire National Park
In the morning you will start your safari with a drive to the Tarangire National Park with packed lunch. The park, roughly the size of Luxemburg, covers an area of approximately 2,600 km². The landscape of savannah, seasonal swamps, and giant baobab trees is home to Masai giraffes, buffaloes, hartebeest, eland, fringe-eared oryx, the weird-looking long-necked gerenuk and over 550 species of birds. But it is the elephants, Tarangire is famous for and the park, where herds of up to 300 animals roam, is probably one of the best places in East Africa to see them and to get close to these giant creatures. After an extensive game drive, then drive to Kizumba Camp Site for dinner and overnight.
Day 2 Ngorongoro Crater
After breakfast drive to Ngorongoro and descend into the crater with packed lunch. Inside the world’s largest caldera, you will see a diversity of wildlife ranging from black rhinos, Grant’s and Thomson’s gazelles, lions and leopards to elephants and mountain reedbucks in the forests on the slopes. You might also see buffaloes, spotted hyenas, rare wild dogs and some of the more than 500 bird species of the area. After an intensive game drive and a picnic lunch, you will leave the caldera in the afternoon and travel Kizumba Camp Site (near Manyara Park) for dinner and overnight.
Day 3 Lake Manyara National Park – Arusha
After breakfast, you will drive to the smaller Lake Manyara National Park with packed lunch. The park is known for its over 400 bird species, primate-filled forests and grassy plains. A large area of the park is covered by the alkaline Lake Manyara, which is home to colonies of flamingos and other water birds. Apart from elephants, you might also spot giraffes, hippos, wildebeests, impalas and teeming groups of noisy monkeys and baboons in the forests near the lake. In the afternoon, after an extensive game drive, you will drive back to Arusha.
