Safari summary

This 2-day joining safari is a perfect short adventure for travelers who want to experience Tanzania’s famous wildlife in a limited time while sharing the journey with other safari lovers. The tour takes you to Tarangire National Park and Lake Manyara National Park, two of the most diverse and scenic parks in Northern Tanzania.

On Day 1, you explore Tarangire National Park, well known for its huge herds of elephants, ancient baobab trees, and the life-giving Tarangire River that attracts animals year-round. During the game drive, you may spot lions, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffaloes, and a wide variety of bird species in the open savannah landscape.

On Day 2, the safari continues to Lake Manyara National Park, a lush and compact park offering a mix of groundwater forest, open plains, and the alkaline lake itself. The park is famous for its tree-climbing lions, large troops of baboons, hippos, flamingos (seasonal), and rich birdlife. The changing scenery and close wildlife encounters make this park unique and memorable.

This joining safari includes professional guiding, shared safari vehicle, game drives in both parks, meals, accommodation, and park fees—making it an affordable, social, and unforgettable wildlife experience.
