Safari summary

Experience the best of northern Tanzania on this 3-day affordable safari, specially designed for travelers who want to explore the country’s rich wildlife and stunning landscapes without breaking the budget. With Tanzania Safari Source Tours, you’ll visit three of the region’s most iconic national parks: Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara National Park all in just three days of expertly guided adventure.

Your journey begins in Tarangire National Park, a lesser-known gem famed for its massive elephant herds, towering baobab trees, and the winding Tarangire River. This unique ecosystem attracts a wide variety of wildlife zebras, giraffes, lions, ostriches, wildebeest, and more offering spectacular photography opportunities and exciting game drives led by our experienced guides.

On Day 2, you’ll explore the legendary Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world’s most remarkable natural wonders. As you descend 600 meters into the crater floor, you’ll enter a self-contained paradise where wildlife thrives in high densities. Here, you’ll have the chance to spot all of the Big Five: lion, elephant, rhino, leopard, and buffalo all within a single day. The scenery inside the crater is as stunning as the wildlife itself, with forests, lakes, open plains, and swamps creating a rich and diverse habitat.

Your final day takes you to the lush beauty of Lake Manyara National Park, famous for its tree-climbing lions, flocks of flamingos, and stunning views of the Great Rift Valley escarpment. This compact but incredibly diverse park offers a unique mix of ecosystems, including groundwater forests, open grassy plains, and the alkaline lake itself home to hippos, pelicans, monkeys, and more than 400 bird species.
