Discover the spectacular wildlife and landscape of Northern Tanzania on this unforgettable 3-day Tanzania Private Safari, a well-planned trip that takes you to three of the most spectacular destinations in the country, Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara National Park. This itinerary is for travellers who want to experience an authentic African safari ein a short period of time. You will enjoy breathtaking landscapes, incredible wildlife viewing and comfortable lodging for an exciting and rewarding experience.

Your adventure starts in Arusha, the gateway to Tanzania’s famous Northern Safari Circuit, before travelling to Tarangire National Park, a hidden gem known for its giant herds of elephants, ancient baobab trees and diverse wildlife. Tarangire has some of the best game driving in Tanzania but is often overlooked by its bigger neighbours. The Tarangire River flows all year round, and in the dry season draws thousands of animals, and it is one of the best places in East Africa to see wild elephants in the wild. Visitors can also expect to see lions, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffaloes, impalas, elands, waterbucks, warthogs and over 550 recorded species of birds. It is a paradise for wildlife and bird lovers alike.

Next, you’ll travel to the lush highlands of Karatu, a charming town surrounded by coffee plantations and fertile farmland, where you will enjoy two restful nights. The Great Rift Valley offers spectacular views and is very conveniently located for effortless access to both the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Lake Manyara National Park. Karatu’s warm climate and open vibe make it the perfect place to relax after exciting days out exploring the wilderness of Tanzania.

A highlight of this safari is a full-day exploration of the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater, one of Africa’s most celebrated wildlife destinations and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The crater was formed more than two million years ago when a giant volcano collapsed and is the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera and supports one of the highest concentrations of wildlife anywhere in Africa. Descending some 600 m into the crater, you discover an amazing ecosystem where lions, elephants, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, hyenas, flamingos and countless other species live all year round. It is also one of the best places in Tanzania to see the endangered black rhinoceros, which means it is one of the few places where visitors have an excellent chance of seeing all the members of the famous Big Five on a single game drive.

On the last day your safari ends with a visit to the beautiful Lake Manyara National Park, a small but highly diverse park located at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment. The small Lake Manyara is famous for its remarkable variety of habitats, including dense ground-water forests and stands of acacia trees, open grasslands, hot springs and the shallow alkaline lake. These ecosystems are home to an incredible diversity of wildlife, including elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, baboons, blue monkeys, hippos and many species of bird. The park is particularly renowned for its large troops of baboons, seasonal flocks of pink flamingos and its famous tree-climbing lions, although sightings of these unique predators depend on timing and animal movements.

You will be travelling on this trip in a private 4×4 Toyota Land Cruiser designed for safari adventures, with an experienced professional driver-guide who will share a wealth of knowledge about the wildlife, ecosystems, and conservation efforts of Tanzania. With a private safari, you have the freedom to travel at your own pace, and without the restrictions of a group tour, you can spend more time observing wildlife and photographing unforgettable moments.
