4 Days Tanzania Budget Safari

Day 1: Arusha – Lake Manyara National Park:
Pick up from Arusha and transfer to Lake Manyara national park.
We arrive at the park and start your game drive with your picnic lunch after which you will proceed with your afternoon game drive. This National Park is one of Tanzania’s most dramatically located wildlife areas, consisting of a massive but shallow Soda Lake (covering two-thirds of the park), located at the foot of the Great Rift Valley’s Western escarpment. The park’s varied habitat attracts a wide variety of animals including one of Africa’s largest concentrations of Elephants; Lake Manyara is unique for Tree-climbing lions, as well as large flocks of Flamingos attracted by the algae in the Lake. Dinner and overnight at the Migunga Tented Camp

Day 2: Lake Manyara National Park – Serengeti National Park:
After breakfast we head towards the Serengeti National Park, via the beautiful high lying farmland of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Leaving the highlands behind, we descend into the heart of wild Africa – the Serengeti National Park – with its endless plains, rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see. We head to the central Park area, known as the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the Park, featuring the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti’s species.We arrive in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in the Serengeti National Park. Dinner and overnight in the Serengeti Katikati Tented Camp

Day 3: Serengeti National Park – Ngorongoro Crater:
Be one of only a few fortunate people to glide in a Hot Air Balloon over the Serengeti Plains (available at supplementary cost by pre-arrangement). Floating silently above the awakening bush, while spotting wildlife and enjoying the amazing scenery of Africa, across rivers and over numerous small villages. After breakfast at the lodge do we depart to Ngorongoro Conservation Area. We will stopover at Olduvai Gorge, boasting with a history dating back to the dawn of time. It was here, that the anthropologists Drs. Lois and Mary Leakey discovered the skulls of ‘Nutcracker Man’ and ‘Handy Man’, both very significant links in the chain of human evolution. We arrive in time for lunch at the Lodge/Camp and after lunch we will descend over 600 meters into the Crater to view wildlife for a half day’s safari tour. Supported by a year round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of Wildebeest, Zebra, Buffalo, Eland, Warthog, Hippo, and giant African Elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque National Park is its dense population of predators, which include Lions, Hyenas, Jackals, Cheetahs and the ever-elusive Leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot. We will visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline Lake in the South-western corner, which is one of the main features of the Crater. A large number of flamingos, hippos and other water birds can usually been seen here. Dinner and overnight at the Rhilo Lodge

Day 4: Ngorongoro Crater – Arusha:
Enjoy breakfast, after which we will transfer back to Arusha. Upon arrival in Arusha will we have lunch and then we will end our African safari adventure. It is possible to have an additional half day game drive at Ngorongoro Conservation Area if you are not restricted to an early departure time from Arusha, please note additional cost will apply.
