Steenbok
Safari in National Parks: Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro
This 3-day safari covers three top attractions in Northern Tanzania. While located near one another, each national park features unique aspects; incredible bird-sightings in Lake Manyara, including clouds of pink flamingos; mighty elephants in Tarangire National Park; and the endangered rhino in Ngorongoro. Across these three locations, you are sure to capture photos of the Big Five of Africa: elephant, buffalo, leopard, rhino and lion.
This safari itinerary is for travelers considering time and cost; guests spend two nights in comfortable lodges near the National Parks, and enjoy two nights at a top-rated hotel in Arusha town. Guests will be comfortable with available wifi, delicious meals and access to a swimming pool. A professional driver-guide with much experience in the African bush will lead your trip and provide deeper insight to the animals and scenery around you.

The group arrives at Kilimanjaro Airport (JRO). Participants are met by a representative of Altezza Travel and transferred to a hotel in Arusha.
Note:The hotel cost only includes breakfast. Check-in starts at 2:00 PM.



In the morning, after breakfast (around 7:30 AM), your safari guide will arrive at the hotel. After meeting your guide, you will head to Tarangire National Park, and by 10:00 AM, your first safari will begin!
In this park, you'll have the opportunity to see a variety of wild Tanzanian animals, such as lions, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, and more. However, it is most famous for its remarkable population of elephants, who tend to stay near their drinking source, the Tarangire River.
Please note that this is the wild, natural environment, so your guide cannot guarantee the presence of specific animals. However, you can rest assured that he will do his best to find everything you're hoping to see! Using the radio channel, the Altezza guides communicate with each other and collaborate in searching for rare species.
At lunchtime, you’ll receive a boxed meal, after which the safari will continue. In the evening, you’ll be transferred to your hotel near Lake Manyara. Enjoy the fantastic views of the Great Rift Valley right from your room window!
Additional notes:
This is your first day on safari, so we kindly ask that you pay special attention to the national park visitor rules and our company’s recommendations:
- It is strictly prohibited to exit the vehicle during the safari, except in designated areas. Violating this rule may result in significant fines for the company, including the revocation of its license.
- Off-road driving is also prohibited as it can cause irreparable damage to the delicate balance of the park's ecosystem.
- Smoking is allowed during the safari, but please be extremely careful when extinguishing and disposing of cigarette butts, as they are a frequent cause of fires in the savanna.
- We kindly ask that you do not put your feet on the seats or sit on the backs of the safari vehicle’s seats, as such behavior quickly damages the vehicle.
Thank you in advance for your understanding!



Early wake-up, breakfast, and travel to Lake Manyara! The entire park is cut through with groundwater streams, creating a favorable environment for plant life, and as a result, attracting a variety of birds (including pink flamingos) and African forest animals.
Around lunchtime, you will visit the Maji Moto hot springs, where your driver will provide you with a personal lunchbox. After this stop, the safari will continue, and by evening, you will be transferred back to your hotel - get ready for the next morning’s trip to Ngorongoro Crater, a unique destination that will take your breath away with its incredible wildlife diversity!



On this day, it is best to leave the hotel as early as possible to maximize your chances of seeing the animals that are most active in the morning. Depending on whether you’d like to extend your safari time, breakfast can either be served at the hotel or packed in lunchboxes for you to enjoy on the go. At 6:30 AM, you will depart for Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and after about an hour, you will enter the crater.
Ngorongoro is one of the most famous and fascinating national parks in Tanzania, as it is home to the highest concentration of animal species per square kilometer. During your visit, you’ll have the chance to see buffalo, elephants, lions, wildebeests, zebras, hippos, and feline species like caracals and servals. The luckiest travelers may even spot a rhinoceros, whose population is rapidly declining.
By lunchtime, you'll arrive at the lakeside, where lunchboxes will be provided. After lunch, you can either continue the safari or begin your drive back to your hotel in Arusha - whichever you prefer!


Rest in the hotel and transfer to the airport.
Note: Hotel check-out is at 10:00 AM. In case you need a late check-out before your evening flight, you have the option to extend your hotel stay for an extra fee. Let your manager know in advance if you need a late check-out.
