4 Days/3 Nights Tanzania Secrets Camping Safari

Recommended time for this safari:

All year round

Day 1 Arusha – Tarangire National Park

We will pick you up in the morning in Arusha and after a short safari briefing, you travel southwest towards Tarangire National Park. The park has a diversity of landscapes including grass, acacia woodlands and forests, and it is especially popular for its huge elephant herds and animals gathering at the river and swamps. Animals range from swarms of yellow breasted lovebirds to kudus, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras and impalas. Predators include lions, leopards and hyenas, while wild dogs are rare. In the late afternoon you will leave the park to travel to a nearby campsite, where you will spend the night in tents. Dinner, breakfast, lunch included. 

Day 2 Tarangire Area – Lake Manyara National Park – Ngorongoro Conservation Area

After breakfast, you will leave the area around Tarangire National Park and drive via the town of Mto wa Mbu to Lake Manyara National Park. This park, with its shallow alkaline lake, stretches along the base of the Rift Valley Escarpment. Lake Manyara attracts thousands of birds, including huge flocks of flamingos. Other animals in the park include buffaloes, elephants, hippos and Masai giraffes as well as troops of boisterous baboons and monkeys in the forests. The park once became famous for tree climbing lions and if you are lucky to spot them you will be amused by the site of these animals lounging on branches in the acacia trees. After a game drive in the park you will ascend to the Ngorongoro highlands, where you will overnight on a campsite situated on the crater’s edge with magnificent views of the caldera below. Dinner, breakfast, lunch included. 

Day 3 Ngorongoro Crater – Mto wa Mbu

Rise and shine! After an early breakfast at your campsite, you will travel down a precipitous trail into the Ngorongoro Crater. Its grass plains and acacia forests are home to almost all the species of animals found in the East African savannah. In only a few hours you might see all the “Big Five” – lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard. After an extensive game drive and a picnic lunch inside the crater, you will leave the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and travel to Mto wa Mbu, where you will spend the night in a tent on a campsite. Dinner, breakfast, lunch included. 

Day 4 Mto Wa Mbu – Arusha

After breakfast, you will start your journey back to Arusha, where you will arrive around midday. You will be dropped off at a hotel of your choice or at the airport. Breakfast, lunch included.
