you are here: home / Safaris / 3 days from Zanzibar

This short fly-in, private safari covers some of the greatest Northern Tanzanian parks: Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, Tarangire.

This itinerary starts and ends at Zanzibar airport (or Dar es Salaam for an extra supplement of $40).

Day 1: Zanzibar – Lake Manyara
Early morning departure by flight from Zanzibar to Arusha (09:30hrs 10:50). Upon arrival, you will be picked up from airport, and be taken to start your safari at Lake Manyara National Park.

Nestling at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment, the park is recognized for its incredible beauty. You can see many game animals such as buffalo, elephant, giraffe, impala, hippo and more.

Overnight stay Ngorongoro Farmhouse or Tloma Lodge or similar. Lunch and dinner included.

Day 2: Ngorongoro Crater
After breakfast we proceed to the amazing Ngorongoro Crater, for a game drive.

As very few animals migrate in and out of the crater with its 2000 ft. high walls, you can expect to see lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, flamingos, jackals, rhinos, antelopes, many birds and other animals. Your driver/guide will be in contact with other safari drivers and will amaze you with his skill at locating hidden animals.

Overnight stay Ngorongoro Farmhouse or Tloma Lodge or similar. Lunch and dinner included.

Day 3: Tarangire - Zanzibar
After breakfast we depart for Tarangire, Tanzania's third largest national park and sanctuary for an unusually large elephant population.

Majestic baobab trees are an interesting feature of the park, dwarfing the animals that feed beneath them. Animals concentrate along the Tarangire River, which provides the only permanent water supply in the area. There is a great diversity of wildlife including lion, leopard, cheetah and up to six thousand elephant. Around noon you will return to Arusha for your direct flight back to Zanzibar (14:00hrs 15:30).
