Tanzania mid-range safari 3 days to Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater & Lake Manyara overview
Our Tanzania mid-range safari 3 days is a memorable experience of Northern Tanzania’s abundance of wildlife and spectacular scenery. Dubbed ‘Africa’s Garden of Eden’, The Ngorongoro Crater hosts an abundance of wildlife including the exceptionally rare black rhino and it is renowned for maximum game spotting. Exploring Tanzania mid-range safari plains of savannah in Tarangire National Park and tranquil game drives along the shallow waters of Lake Manyara will leave you feeling enchanted and revitalized.
Day 1: Arusha to Tarangire National Park | Tanzania mid-range safari
We will depart from Arusha in the early hours of the day and drive to Tarangire National Park where colossal termite mounds and ancient baobab trees await us. This Park is renowned for their immense elephant population, their picturesque scenery and diverse bird life.
Tarangire has an enticing wildlife that includes elephants, lions, giraffe, warthogs, ostriches, impalas, cheetah, mongoose, buffaloes and baboons. When our Tanzania mid-range safari on first day comes to an end, we will proceed to the Lake Manyara where you will get dinner and overnight.
Day 2: Tanzania mid-range safari to Ngorongoro Crater
On Tanzania mid-range safari day 2, we will have a timely start to the day to ensure that we arrive at the Ngorongoro Crater promptly – early morning game drives provide you with an excellent opportunity to spot wildlife. We will enjoy a wonderful game drive with an appetizing picnic lunch inside the crater.
The elevated structure encourages the animals to settle inside the crater which means you are capable of spotting every member of ‘The Big 5’ in one day. The big five tend to dominate the savannah and consist of buffalo, lions, elephants, rhinos and leopards. The Ngorongoro Crater developed its structure nearly three million years ago when a colossal volcano erupted, making it the largest un-flooded, unbroken caldera in the world.
You can also expect to encounter zebra, hippo, wildebeest and hyenas. You will find the flamingos gracefully lounging around the Soda Lake and the vultures are always corroding the discarded prey of a predator. Other birds include storks and geese. Your guide will be in close contact with the other safari drivers and his impressive ability to track down hidden animals will assure that you have an eventful day. We will have dinner and spend the night Lake Manyara.
Day 3: Tanzania mid-range safari to Lake Manyara and back to Arusha
In the morning we will depart to Lake Manyara where we will spend the day and enjoy a delectable picnic lunch. The Park is nestled at the base of the rusty gold Great Rift Valley escarpment and the scenic landscape is breathtakingly magnificent. An abundance of species is able to reside in the park due to the wide range of habitats.
The Park record consists of over 380 species of birds, some of which are migratory, making it the ideal location for bird watchers. Thousands of pink-hued flamingos occupy the margin of the lake; other large water birds include pelicans, storks and cormorants. The wildlife you can expect to see are buffalo, elephants, giraffe, impalas and the ferocious hippos that inhabit the water. Our 3 days Tanzania mid-range safari will come to an end in the late afternoon. We will proceed to Arusha where you will overnight at hotel.
