Three day Zanzibar safari tour

Safari summary

Embark on an extraordinary 3-day last-minute safari from Zanzibar to three of Tanzania’s most celebrated wildlife destinations—Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, and the world-renowned Ngorongoro Crater. This short yet immersive fly-in safari is perfect for travelers staying in Zanzibar who want to experience the thrill of East Africa’s wildlife without compromising on comfort or time.

Your journey begins early in the morning with a transfer from your hotel in Zanzibar to Zanzibar International Airport, where you’ll board a scheduled domestic flight to Arusha Airport. Upon arrival, you’ll be warmly greeted by our professional safari guide and begin a scenic drive toward Tarangire National Park, which lies approximately two hours away. Known for its vast landscapes dotted with iconic baobab trees and the seasonal Tarangire River that attracts thousands of animals during the dry season.

The adventure continues on Day 2 as you rise early for a hearty breakfast before heading to Lake Manyara National Park, just about an hour’. Despite its smaller size compared to other parks, Lake Manyara offers a surprisingly rich safari experience, with ecosystems ranging from dense forests and open grassy plains to swampy marshes and the alkaline lake itself. It is famously known for its rare tree-climbing lions, large troops of baboons, and seasonal flocks of flamingos that paint the lake pink.

On Day 3, after an early breakfast, prepare for one of the most iconic safari experiences in Africa—your visit to the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera. The drive to the crater rim takes about an hour, followed by a thrilling descent of 600 meters into the crater floor.

This last-minute safari is designed for travelers with limited time who still want to witness the magic of Tanzania’s northern circuit. It’s an ideal itinerary for couples, families, solo travelers, or small groups, seamlessly combining the serenity of Zanzibar’s beaches with the wild beauty of mainland Tanzania.
