Tanzania night game safari

Safari summary

Embark on a thrilling 2-day Tanzania safari to Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara, carefully designed to provide optimal wildlife encounters and the added adventure of a night game drive in Manyara Ranch Conservancy. The best time to visit is during the dry season from late June to October or the short rains from January to March. Your journey commences with a convenient pick-up from your Arusha hotel or Kilimanjaro International Airport, followed by a full-day game drive in the Ngorongoro Crater, home to the Big Five. Afterward, you'll travel to Lake Manyara, where a night game drive reveals the mysteries of nocturnal wildlife. On Day 2, explore Lake Manyara National Park, known for its unique birdlife and tree-climbing lions, before returning to Arusha. The safari concludes with a drop-off at your Arusha hotel or Kilimanjaro International Airport, leaving you with unforgettable memories of Tanzania's rich biodiversity and thrilling wildlife experiences.

A night in Lake Manyara is another world; imagine a landscape shining in silver moonlight. Hippos are out of the rivers and graze on grass. The chances of encountering a pride of lions hunting down prey are very high during the night game drive in one of the most amazing parks in Tanzania.
After your dinner, you will be collected by your safari guide from the lodge or camp around 8:00 p.m. Have a short briefing about the park, and after, enter the park to start your lifetime adventure.
Board an open safari vehicle or normal safari jeep driven by a professional guide and accompanied by an armed ranger. Expect to encounter nocturnal animals that cannot easily be seen during normal daytime game drives.
Explore the area till around 11 p.m., and after a thrilling night in your life (in Lake Manyara), you will drive back to your lodge or camp with a full heart and camera!
