Our Classic Tanzania safari begins with a briefing about your safari and we travel southwest towards Tarangire National Park. This park offers a range of diverse landscapes and a great variety of wildlife. The park is one of the most densely populated areas for elephants and is home to some of the big cats such as lions, leopards and cheetahs. You should also be able to see lots of giraffes, buffalos, zebras and various antelopes and gazelles. The late afternoon will be spent in the national park with plenty of time for wildlife watching. Clients overnight at a campsite in a tent near the park gate.

Day 2 Tarangire Area – Lake Manyara National Park – Ngorongoro Conservation Area
After breakfast youwill leave the Tarangire National Park area and drive via the town of Mto wa Mbu to the Lake Manyara National Park. This park with its shallow alkaline lake stretches along the base of the Rift Valley Escarpment. Lake Manyara attracts thousands of birds, including huge flocks of flamingos. Other animals in the park include buffaloes, elephants, hippos and Masai giraffes as well as troops of boisterous baboons and monkeys in the forests. The park once became famous for tree climbing lions and if you are lucky to spot them you will be amused by the site of these animals lounging on branches in the acacia trees. After a game drive (safari) in the park you will ascend to the Ngorongoro highlands, where you will overnight on a campsite situated on the crater’s edge with wonderful views of the caldera below.

Day 3 Ngorongoro Crater – Mto wa Mbu
After breakfast we travel down the adventurous trail into the crater below. The Ngorogoro crater is the biggest crater in the world and a number of different animals have made it their home. Its grass steppes and acacia forests are home to almost all the species of animals found in the East African savannah. Here it is possible to see lions, elephants, buffalos, rhinoceros and leopards (the famous “Big 5”).
After extensive wildlife watching and a picnic in the crater, you will leave the highlands of Ngorongoro in the afternoon and travel further to your campsite at Mto wa Mbu.
