This pocket-friendly 3-day safari is the perfect introduction to Tanzania for budget-conscious travellers. Lake Manyara National Park, nestled beneath the Rift Valley escarpment, is famous for its tree-climbing lions, vast flocks of flamingos, and lush groundwater forest teeming with monkeys and elephants. The following day takes you to the Ngorongoro Crater — a collapsed volcano that shelters one of the highest densities of wildlife on the planet. With all park fees, meals, and camping included, this tour delivers incredible value for an authentic northern Tanzania experience.
Depart Arusha mid-morning and drive 2 hours to Lake Manyara National Park, located at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment. Enter the park through the lush groundwater forest and begin searching for elephants, blue monkeys, and baboons. Drive along the lakeshore looking for flamingos, pelicans, and hippos. Lake Manyara is one of the best parks in Tanzania for tree-climbing lions — keep your eyes on the mahogany and fig trees. End the day at a nearby campsite.
