Beginning and ending in Arusha, Tanzania, this affordable 3 day Tanzania road Safari offers an excellent way to discover two of the most popular parks in Tanzania’s Northern Safari Circuit. You will enjoy incredible game viewing in Lake Manyara National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater.

Begin from Arusha where you take a scenic countryside drive to Lake Manyara National Park located 125 km (78 miles) west of Arusha town, which is a 2-hour drive. On our route to Lake Manyara National Park, we pass through Mto wa Mbu village, home to 120 different tribes. 

On entering the park, the road takes us through a lush jungle-like forest, home to baboons and monkeys, before opening on to a grassy floodplain. Further inland the legendary tree-climbing lions and elephants can be found in a narrow belt of woodland. Large buffaloes, wildebeest, giraffes, and herds of zebra congregate on the grassy plains. 

As well as the many animals, Manyara is home to prolific birdlife and is famous for the huge flocks of flamingos along the lakeshore. We stop for a picnic lunch during our game viewing drive in the  Park.

After game viewing, we head to our lodge/ camp inside the game park. Accommodation options include Manyara Wildlife Safari Camp, andBeyond Lake Manyara Tree Lodge, Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge, and Kirurumu Manyara Lodge.

On Day 2 we take a scenic drive towards the Ngorongoro Crater to the northwest. We travel up the side of the Great Rift Valley to Karatu, stopping to take photographs and admire the breathtaking views over Lake Manyara and the floor of the lush valley.

We continue to the wildlife-rich Ngorongoro Crater. Descending into the largest unflooded caldera in the world we embark on a game drive in search of the amazing abundance of wildlife found here.

The Ngorongoro Crater is home to Africa’s Big Five (lions, elephants, buffalos, rhinos, and leopards), boasting one of the highest concentrations of lions in the world. Almost all of the wild animal species found on the savannahs of East Africa inhabit this compact crater.

Ngorongoro offers first-class game viewing and is considered one of the best places to capture the endangered black rhino on film. The conservation area is home to over 25 000 larger animals, the highest density of animals inhabiting any one area in Africa.

We stop for a picnic lunch during our game viewing drive in the vast Crater, ascending the crater walls in the afternoon. We head to our next overnight safari camp/ lodge. Accommodation options include Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge, Ngorongoro Wildlife Lodge, andBeyond Ngorongoro Crater Lodge and the Manor At Ngorongoro.

On the last day of our 3-day Tanzania road Safari, we leave the crater highlands and return to Arusha where our safari began.
