3-Day Tanzania Midrange Safari Itinerary

Destinations: Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater & Tarangire National Park

Itinerary

Your journey begins with a morning pickup in Arusha, heading straight to Lake Manyara
National Park. This compact park is a jewel known for its rich birdlife, hot springs, and the
rare tree-climbing lions. A game drive takes you through lush groundwater forests, open
plains, and lakeside habitats teeming with flamingos and other water birds. After a full day
of exploration, you’ll drive to Karatu for a warm dinner and overnight stay at a charming
midrange lodge.

After breakfast, you’ll descend 600 meters into the Ngorongoro Crater for an exciting game
drive across this wildlife-packed natural amphitheater. Keep your eyes peeled for elephants,
buffalo, zebras, hyenas, and possibly the endangered black rhino. You’ll enjoy a picnic lunch
at a scenic spot near a hippo pool, surrounded by awe-inspiring views. In the late afternoon,
you’ll return to Karatu for another restful evening and dinner at your midrange lodge.

On your final day, you’ll visit Tarangire National Park, famous for its elephant migration,
ancient baobab trees, and diverse bird species. Enjoy a game drive through rolling
savannahs and riverine woodlands where predators roam and herbivores graze peacefully.
After a hearty picnic lunch and one last look at the wild beauty of Tanzania, begin your
journey back to Arusha, arriving in the evening.
