Overview

Experience the incredible wildlife and natural beauty of Northern Tanzania on this 3-Day Tanzania Nature & Wildlife Group Safari. Designed for travelers looking for an affordable and social safari experience, this group-joining adventure combines the wildlife-rich landscapes of Tarangire National Park with the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater. Your adventure begins in Arusha, where you will meet your professional safari guide and fellow travelers before heading to Tarangire National Park. Famous for its large elephant herds, magnificent baobab trees, open savannahs and diverse wildlife, Tarangire offers an excellent introduction to Tanzania’s wilderness. During your game drive, keep your eyes open for elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffaloes, warthogs, monkeys and, with luck, lions and other predators. After exploring Tarangire, continue towards the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Along the way, enjoy beautiful views of the Tanzanian countryside, local communities and the changing landscapes of Northern Tanzania. Spend the evening at comfortable accommodation near the Ngorongoro area, giving you time to relax and prepare for the following day's crater adventure. On Day 3, wake up early and travel to the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater, one of Tanzania’s most remarkable wildlife destinations. Descend into the crater for a memorable game drive across its diverse landscapes, where you may encounter lions, elephants, buffaloes, hippos, zebras, wildebeest, hyenas and numerous bird species. The crater also provides an opportunity to search for the endangered black rhino. A picnic lunch in the designated area allows you to enjoy the surrounding scenery before beginning your journey back to Arusha. Your safari ends with a drop-off at your hotel or another agreed location. Because this is a group-joining safari, travelers share the safari vehicle, guide and game-drive experience with other participants. This makes the trip more affordable while also providing an opportunity to meet people from different countries and backgrounds. With professional guiding, comfortable accommodation, wildlife-rich destinations and carefully planned game drives, this 3-day safari is an excellent choice for travelers who want to experience Tanzania’s famous wildlife without the higher cost of a private safari. Highlights include: Tarangire’s elephant herds and baobab landscapes, the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater, diverse wildlife viewing, scenic Northern Tanzania and the social experience of traveling with fellow safari enthusiasts.
