This focused three day safari is the ideal wildlife extension to a Kilimanjaro or Mount Meru climb. Despite its short duration, the itinerary delivers exceptional wildlife diversity across two contrasting landscapes: Lake Manyara National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater.
Lake Manyara lies at the base of the dramatic Great Rift Valley escarpment, where flamingos and other waterbirds gather along the lake shoreline and hippos congregate in the shallows. In contrast, the Ngorongoro Crater is a vast UNESCO World Heritage-listed volcanic caldera that functions as a natural wildlife sanctuary. Lion, elephant, buffalo and large herds of plains game are commonly seen, and the crater remains one of northern Tanzania’s most reliable locations to spot the endangered black rhino.
Accommodation is in comfortable permanent tented camps with ensuite facilities and easy access to the parks. Starting and finishing in Arusha, this safari is available daily year-round, giving you the flexibility to add it seamlessly to your main adventure.
If you have one more day, see our four day Tanzania Wildlife Adventure which also includes Tarangire National Park.

The three day safari in Tanzania was wonderful in its own way and restful for the Kilimanjaro climbers. We saw many animals, birds and different landscapes. The tour leader was very obliging and I am sure he went to extra trouble for us – the lodge accommodation was really very, very good.
Every departure date advises whether the date is confirmed, and roughly how full it is. Here is what each one means.
If a date shows Guaranteed to go, it runs regardless of further bookings.
It means two travellers are enough to confirm the departure. It could be 2 more to add to the group, or the date only needs 2 people to run. Either way, if you book for two people, the date will become guaranteed to run.
You will know the status before you book. Every date on this page is labelled, and dates marked “Guaranteed to go” are running regardless of further bookings. Where a date has not reached its minimum we either offer a surcharge to operate for a smaller group size so it can still run, or we cancel it. We contact you directly either way.
If we cancel a departure due to not meeting minimum trip numbers, you receive a full refund of everything you have paid us less any non recoverable costs, where insurance may cover you. We cannot refund money committed elsewhere – additional non refundable deposits advised at the time of booking, flights, visas, vaccinations, gear - which is why it is worth waiting for “Guaranteed to go” before booking other arrangements around this trip date. Please read our Booking Terms and Conditions before you book.
Each trip closes online a set time before departure. Permits, internal flights and hut or campsite bookings all have to be arranged before we take payment. Call or enquire as it might still be possible to organise last minute places.
Cancellations happen and places do open up on closed dates, so it is worth being on our list. We can also tell you which nearby date on the same trip has space, which is usually the faster route.
Yes, as a private departure. We can run this trip on a date you choose, for your own group - family, friends, a club, or in many cases, just for the two of you. Tell us when you want to travel and who is coming, and we will build it around that.
