3Days Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and Manyara
Covering 14 kilometers of isolated natural beauty, this crater is surrounded by a ring of extinct volcano and serves as a sanctuary for an estimated 20,000 animals including the threatened black Rhino.
The Leirai Forest- meaning ‘fever’ tree- grows on the incredibly steep slopes, giving way to grassy plains and lakes. This Eden is a delicately balanced wilderness where survival of the fittest is definitely the order of the day.
This crater is one of the most outstanding sights to behold as the sense of true wilderness envelopes visitors reminding them that we are but spectators, awkward intruders, in a forgotten world.
This 3 days Ngorongoro itinerary is packed with various explorations: Nature walk, Maasai village tour and Game drive. All in an area wih high density of wildlife. If you want some beach relaxation we recommend an beach extension to Zanzibar.
Day 1: Arusha – Ngorongoro Conservation Area
We will pick you from Arusha and transfer you to Ngorongoro Conservation Area. After arrival you descend into the crater for a wonderful game drive (with a picnic lunch) inside the Crater considered as an UNESCO World Heritage Site. As very few animals migrate in and out of the crater with its 2000 ft. high walls the Ngorongoro Crater has the highest wild animal density worldwide. Among the species are lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, flamingos, jackals, rhinos, antelopes, many birds and other species. You might expect to see the ‘Big Five’ in one day.
