3 Days In Tanzania Northern Circuit Safari Tour
Another great package which gives you 3 days to explore the beauty of Tanzania in-terms of wildlife and culture. Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, we will drive you to Tarangire which is reputed to contain some of the largest elephant herds in Africa. This African National Park is also home to three rare species of animals – the Greater Kudu, the Fringed-eared Oryx, as well as a few Ashy Starlings. Tarangire is spectacular in the dry season when many of the migratory wildlife species come back to the permanent waters of the Tarangire River. After Tarangire, we will proceed to Ngorongoro Crater. This is the best place in Tanzania to see black rhino as well as prides of lion that include the magnificent black-manned males. This is the only National Parks which accommodates lions, leopard, cheetah, hyena wildebeest, zebras, elephants, and Maasai people in one place. The Ngorongoro Crater, is one of the most densely crowded African wildlife areas in the world and is home to an estimated 30,000 animals including some of Tanzania’s last remaining black rhino. Another big draw card to this picturesque national park is its huge population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the ever-elusive leopard. On the final day we will visit Mto wa Mbu.
This village offers a very rare experience for visitors! Around 120 tribes reside in the village – it’s a cross-cultural melting pot with probably the most exotic mix of languages and customs found anywhere in Tanzania. The village is surrounded by magnificent scenery and is situated on the main road which leads to the Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater and Conservation Area. While on the Village, you can try banana beer, visit traditional houses, learn about Makonde carving, do shopping and much more things before we drive to either Arusha Airport or Kilimanjaro International Airport to catch your flight.
The best and most recommended landing time at Kilimanjaro International Airport is between 04h00 – 08h00.

Upon your arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport with your morning Flight, you will meet our Driver Guide and proceed to Tarangire National Park, arriving in time for a game drive with your Picnic lunch in the Park. The Park is in the northern Tanzania, just south of Lake Manyara. Located slightly off the main safari route, Tarangire National Park is a lovely, quiet park in Northern Tanzania. It is most famous for its elephant migration, birding and authentic safari atmosphere. The game viewing from July to October is exceptional, but for the remainder of the year the majority of game migrates out of the park, onto the floor of the Rift Valley and to the grazing grounds of the Masai steppe. This is a protected area of colossal baobabs, grassy plains and huge herds of elephant. The park is one of the most underrated of Tanzania’s attractions, receiving just a fraction of the Serengeti’s visitors, which means more space and exclusivity for those who do make it to Tarangire. As well as 300-strong herds of elephant, visitors will find big groups of buffalo and healthy populations of lion and leopard. During the dry season, Tarangire has the highest concentration of mammals in the country. There are wild dog and rare antelope such as gerenuk, plus more than 550 species of birds to spot throughout the year. Tarangire is the ideal park for those who want to explore beyond game drives. Walk through the savannah to study the smallest creatures and learn about tracking animals. Dinner and stay overnight at Kudu Lodge & Campsite on full board basis.

In fact, any Northern Tanzania safari should ideally include a visit to Ngorongoro Crater. It is one of the most beautiful natural wildlife safari sites in the world and an exceptional place to interact with people from the Maasai tribe. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) in northern Tanzania is home to one of the most spectacular safari experiences on the continent and the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera and home to the highest density of big game in Africa. Ngorongoro is justifiably one of the continent's most famous safari destinations. Being part of the Serengeti ecosystem – Ngorongoro is definitely one of the Tanzania’s must-see places – the landscape of this 829,200-hectare UNESCO World Heritage Site ranges from short-grass plains, grazed by dazzles of zebra and large herds of wildebeest, to placid crater lakes and volcanic peaks wreathed in cloud. The famous Ngorongoro Crater — one of the new Seven Natural Wonders of Africa and the feature from which the NCA takes its name — This is the world’s largest inactive and empty volcanic caldera, formed 2 to 3 million years ago. Around 25,000 large animals live in the 30,000-hectare crater, including lion, black rhino and elephant. Spend this day on safari in the crater and pause for a special lunch with us in the bush.
