Top Notch Tanzania Safari – 3 Days

Safari Spots

Safari Overview

Our 3-day top-notch safari takes you to the endless Serengeti plains, the World Heritage Site of Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park. It is designed to offer visitors with a time constraint a short but very intense, Tanzanian wildlife safari experience. You will experience the excitement of an African wildlife safari, or even a photographic safari in 3 of the most spectacular national game parks in Tanzania. 

Safari Itinerary

DAY 1: Tarangire National Park

Giant baobab trees, bush savannah and the seasonal marshes add to the wonder of this nature reserve. The Tarangire National Park is considered as one of the best places to view elephants up close. The park is also home to buffaloes, zebras and wildebeests which are always closely followed by a range of predators such as lions. Leopards are seen now and then but cheetahs are rarely spotted. From the open roof of the safari vehicle you will be able to absorb the landscape and watch the animals. In the late afternoon you will leave the park and drive to the lodge, where you will overnight.

DAY 2: Serengeti National Park

The entire day is dedicated to game viewing in the Serengeti. The areas that you visit will depend upon where the migrating herds are. Predators usually follow closely behind the trekking animals and include lions, leopards (in the acacia trees) and cheetahs. During the short rainy season in November and December the herds move from the hills in the north to the plains in the south. During the longer rainy season from April to June they return up north. As the migration is completely dependent on the yearly rainfalls, the location of the herds may vary from year to year but your guide will know where to locate the animals and where to see them best.

DAY 3: Ngorongoro Crater

On the last day we will descend over 600m into the crater to view wildlife for a half day’s safari tour. Supported by a year round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro Crater supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants.
Another big draw card to this picturesque national park is its dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot. We will visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, which is one of the main features of the crater.

A large number of flamingos, hippos and other water birds can be seen here. After lunch, we will start ascending from the crater and return back to Arusha/JRO.
