Safari Tarangire & Crater Experience

On this 2 days safari you will see flamingos, elephants and huge troops of baboons in Lake Manyara National Park and a collapsed volcano filled with wild animals in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

Day 1: Moshi / Arusha – Lake Manyara National Park – Karatu

After a short briefing in the morning, you will travel westwards to the small Lake Manyara National Park. The park, with its shallow alkaline lake, is known for its over 400 bird species, primate-filled forests (look out for the long-tailed Guenon monkeys), and grassy plains. A large area of the park is covered by the alkaline Lake Manyara, home to colonies of flamingos and other water birds. Apart from elephants, you might also spot giraffes, hippos, wildebeests, and impalas. The forests near the lake are teeming with noisy groups of monkeys and baboons. From the pop-up roof of the safari vehicle, you will absorb the sights and sounds of nature. In the late afternoon, you will leave the Lake Manyara National Park and head to Karatu.

Day 2: Karatu – Ngorongoro Crater – Arusha

After breakfast, your safari continues to the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This is the world's largest caldera, approximately 18 km in diameter and home to about 25,000 mammals. In this relatively small area, you can find almost all the mammals of East Africa, ranging from Grant's and Thomson's gazelles to mountain reedbucks in the forests on the slopes. You might also see spotted hyenas, rare wild dogs, and over 500 bird species. It is also possible to spot the Big Five – lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard. After lunch at a picnic spot, there will be more time for a game drive before you leave the crater and return to Arusha by early evening.
