This four day safari extension combines perfectly with a Kilimanjaro or Mount Meru climb, or as a flexible addition to a wider East African journey. Starting and finishing in Arusha, it is available year-round with your choice of start date, allowing you to easily incorporate it into your main adventure.
Over four days, you explore three of northern Tanzania’s most rewarding parks: Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara and the Ngorongoro Crater, each offering distinct landscapes and wildlife habitats.
Tarangire is defined by sweeping savannah, acacia woodland and ancient baobab trees that punctuate the horizon, with large elephant herds and prolific birdlife.
Lake Manyara lies at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment, where where famingos and other waterbirds gather along the lake shoreline and hippos congregate in the shallows.
The Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage listed volcanic caldera offers consistently high densities of animals, including lion, elephant, buffalo and, with luck, the endangered black rhino.
Accommodation is in comfortable permanent tented camps with ensuite facilities, well located for access to the parks and allowing you to experience the atmosphere of a traditional safari setting.
