Itinerary

  1. Day 1

    Arusha

    You'll be met at Kilimanjaro Airport or Arusha Airport and transferred to your hotel in Arusha for the night. This gives you a chance to settle in and prepare for the safari ahead.

    Start point
    Kilimanjaro, Tanzania (Kilimanjaro International Airport)
  2. Day 2

    Arusha to Lake Manyara

    After breakfast, you'll grab any last-minute supplies in Arusha Town, then head to Lake Manyara National Park. The park has diverse landscapes from acacia woodlands to water forests and baobab cliffs, and you'll likely spot baboons (the park has the largest concentration anywhere) and tree-climbing lions in the acacia trees. Various hot springs and swamps add to the habitat mix. You're staying overnight at Budget Lodge.

    Meals
    Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

    Included Activities

    • Safari at Lake Manyara National Park
    • Wildlife viewing including baboons, lions, and birds

  3. Day 3

    Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha

    Starting early after breakfast, you'll drive down over 600 meters into Ngorongoro Crater, one of the world's top wildlife reserves. The crater floor hosts large groups of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, and elephants, with predators like lions, hyenas, and leopards throughout. You'll visit Lake Magadi, a shallow alkaline lake where flamingos, hippos, and water birds congregate. Late afternoon brings a transfer back to Arusha for dinner and overnight, or you can head to the airport if that's where your trip ends.
