3 Days Tanzania affordable lodge safari package offers you the chance to see a wide variety of wildlife amidst some of the most diverse landscapes. Not only will you visit Tarangire National Park and Lake Manyara National Park, but also the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You will witness huge herds of elephants, seasonal flocks of flamingos, and troops of baboons.
This short Tanzania lodge safari to Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, and Lake Manyara is the most affordable private Tanzania safari option, including a nice mid-range lodge. However, the package can still be customized to fit your budget and preferences.
The tour starts and ends in Arusha, the tourism capital. We will meet you at your lodge/hotel in Arusha for a short safari briefing either a day before or in the morning before departing for Tarangire National Park.
You will be picked up at the Kilimanjaro International Airport and transferred to Arusha at your arranged hotel. You will meet your driver guide who will brief you on your upcoming safaris, then rest until the next day morning.
Today, we depart for Tarangire Park with packed lunch, passing through the open plains south of Arusha town. During the dry season from May to October, Tarangire boasts the greatest concentration of wildlife outside the Serengeti ecosystem. Its wetlands in the southeast portion of the park support over 300 varieties of birds. With fewer tourists than other parks, Tarangire’s rolling savannah, dotted with thousands of baobab and acacia trees, offers a great chance to enjoy Africa's wilderness and solitude. You will have a full-day game drive, followed by dinner and overnight.
After breakfast, we depart for Ngorongoro Crater, passing through the forested slopes of the Ngorongoro Crater Highlands before arriving at the rim of the crater. We’ll descend into the crater, which is one of the most densely crowded game areas in the world, home to nearly 40,000 animals. Here, we’ll have a good chance of seeing the big five: lion, leopard, rare Black Rhino, buffalo, and elephants. Along with the big five, we will also see herds of wildebeest, zebra, and Thomson’s gazelle. After a picnic lunch, we’ll continue our game drive, then depart the crater and arrive at our accommodations for dinner and overnight.
After breakfast, drive to Lake Manyara National Park with packed lunch. Encompassing this area is Lake Manyara Park, which is often overlooked but game-rich and best known for its tree-climbing lions. We’ll have time for a full-day game drive, then an evening drive back to Arusha.
