4-Day Midrange Safari Manyara NP, Crater and Tarangire

Day 1

Transfer to Arusha

You will be picked up from the airport by our driver and drive you to your accommodation in Arusha. Here you will stay overnight, relax, and prepare in anticipation of the adventures to come.

Arusha, also known as "A" Town by the locals, is situated at the foot of Mount Meru, Africa's 5th highest mountain. The altitude gives the city a pleasant climate and lush green environment. Arusha is not a particularly attractive city in itself and is regarded by many visitors as little more than a necessary stopover before their safari starts in earnest.

Summit Safari Lodge

• Mid-range lodge located in Arusha (City)

Day 2

Arusha to Lake Manyara National Park

Today your safari adventure begins! We will pick you up from your hotel in or around Arusha.

This relatively small but diverse park is so named for a shallow Salt Lake that covers a large area of the park's surface area. Flooding and drying with the seasons, this soda lake is home to thousands of flamingos with another 500 bird species represented in the park. On your exploration of the park, you will see monkeys, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, buffaloes, elephants, and, with some luck, lions lounging in the trees. The park is known for its diverse landscapes - not only open grassy plains but also primate-filled woodlands and baobab-dotted cliffs. After spending some valuable time for game drive in the park then our guide will drive you to your accommodation at Eileen's tree inn Karatu.

Ngorongoro Crater

Today you will wake up early in the morning. After breakfast, you will drive into the amazing Ngorongoro Crater. The Ngorongoro Crater is the largest intact crater in the world. The crater life is estimated at 30,000 large mammals. Due to its

natural borders, wildlife is abundant throughout the conservation area which is home to the Big Five including the African black rhino as well as hyenas, zebras, and elephants to name a few. After spending some valuable time for game drive in the park then our guide will drive you to your accommodation at Eileen's tree inn Karatu.

Day 4

Tarangire National Park back to Arusha

After breakfast, your safari guide will pick you up from your accommodation and drive you to Tarangire National Park. Tarangire is best known for its elephant families, savannah, iconic baobab trees, seasonal swamps, and the life-giving Tarangire River. Animals gather at the river and giraffes; bushbucks and hartebeests are often seen. The park is also home to buffaloes, zebras, and wildebeests. These animals are closely followed by a range of predators, the king, Simba, and her cousin, the leopard. From the open roof of the vehicle, you will be able to absorb the landscape and watch the wildlife.
