This safari itinerary is a good choice for those who have only a few days to experience a northern Tanzania camping safari. The destinations of Tarangire, Lake Manyara, and Ngorongoro Crater each offer a different experience. Most companies offering this itinerary choose to have overnights in private, walled-in campsites outside of the game viewing area to cut costs and for simplicity. At Tanzania Pure Nature, we believe that spending overnight in the wild campsites is an experience that is not to be missed.
After breakfast, your driver/guide, will be ready at your hotel to pick you head into the Tarangire National Park for a game drive. The park has great landscapes including plains known as “Little Serengeti”. The Tarangire River draws many animals to its river banks, especially during the dry season. Its natural vegetation mainly consists of Acacia woodland and giant African Baobab trees, with huge swamp areas in the south. The Tarangire National Park is reputed to contain some of the largest elephant herds in Africa. This African national park is also home to three rare species of animals – the greater kudu, the fringed-eared oryx, as well as a few Ashy starlings. The park also offers a large number of buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, giraffes, lions, cheetahs, leopards, impalas, gazelles, warthogs, and wild dogs which are occasional seen. The park is also enriched with birds with more than 400 species present.
During mid-day we will stop at a designated picnic site for lunch and continue with the game drive until the evening when we drive to the camp for dinner and overnight rest. Dinner and overnight at Tarangire Campsite.
After early breakfast, will have game vieing en route to the exit gate and drive to Lake Manyara National Park. The park is located in the rift valley and has a great landscape view. The vegetation here is completely different compared to Tarangire. The park is full of green and has several water springs coming from the great rift valley. In this park, you will be able to see monkeys, baboons, zebras, wildebeests, elephants, giraffes, warthogs, lions, leopards, and cheetahs. This destination is famous for its lions climbing high in the trees, as well as the home of pink flamingos. You will be able also experience large number of different bird species.
Lunch will be inside the park at a designated picnic site and we continue with the game drive. In the mid/late afternoon, you will drive to Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) for relaxation, dinner, and overnight rest. The gates to enter the NCA close at 6 pm, so we need to be sure to reach there before that time. Simba Campsite in the NCA is well known as having animals wander through the camping area at night. This area tends to be chilly and windy, so you will need to bring an extra layer of clothes to ensure comfort. Dinner and overnight at Simba public campsite
After early breakfast we will descend over 600 meters into the crater for a game drive for a half day’s safari tour. Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro Crater supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeests, zebras, buffalos, elands, warthogs, hippos, and giant African elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque national park, its dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard. Black rhino might also be spotted here.
We will visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, which is one of the main features of the crater and act as home for flamingos and hippos. We will have lunch in the picnic site at this lake. Besides the high concentration of animals, the beauty of the majestic crater walls makes for great photography.
The crater is not very large though, just 20km in diameter, so in half day all will be seen. After lunch, we ascend out of the crater and drive back to Arusha or we can also drop you off at Kilimanjaro Airport if you wish. Hotel is Bed & Breakfast basis
Camping accommodation in Tanzania Safari offers a unique opportunity to experience the untamed beauty of East Africa up close. Set amidst stunning landscapes, these camps provide a comfortable yet rustic retreat, allowing travelers to immerse themselves in nature while enjoying modern conveniences. With wildlife encounters just steps away and evenings spent under the stars around campfires, it’s an adventure that promises unforgettable memories in the heart of Tanzania’s wilderness.
Tanzania Safari holidays are good all-year-round. Because of such close proximity to the equator, Tanzania undergoes two distinct dry and wet seasons. But the best-best time depends on the type of Tanzania safari activity you choose. However, the dry season of June to October is considered to be the best time to go on the Tanzania safari.
During the period of December to March, the Serengeti Migration congregates in large herds around Lake Ndutu in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area of Tanzania Safari. So, the wildebeest migration in the Serengeti is usually during June and July and January to February is the perfect time to see the wildebeest calving.
Ideally, there is no fixed price range for Tanzania safari. There are several factors such as time, numbers of days, and accommodations types that influence the Tanzania safari cost. However, the average cost of Tanzania Safari per day can come down to $400 (dollars) per head for a lodge safari and around $200 (dollars) per day for camping.
Yes, Tanzania is a fairly safe country. Every year millions of tourists visit this beautiful country in the hopes of a thrilling Tanzania travel experience. And, the statistics say that maximum tourists leave the country with their heart bubbling with joy and a secret promise to visit again.
Tanzania offers a great range of lodges and tented camps. However, your Tanzania accommodations depend on the type of packages you have purchased like budget safaris, standard or luxury Tanzania safari.
The duration of an ideal Tanzania safari can take between 5 to 10 days, to ensure you hit all the top spots on your safari. The length though can depend on how long you’d like to stay and enjoy a specific place, hotel, park on your itinerary.

The game drive through the northern circuit with our guide and driver Ben was an unique and unforgettable experience. He showed us animals and plants we would have never seen on our own - he brought us at the right time to the right places. My favorites were the hippos in the Serengeti! The beachholiday and all excursions at Zanzibar organised Agness with her local guides to our fullest contentedness. I loved most the breathtaking boatride to Mnemba-Island and our picnic on a sandbank in the ocean. Important to us were also the cultural and historical sites like the "cultural heritage center/african art gallery" and the "national natural history museum" at Arusha. All campsites and lodges chosen by Aggrey and his company were very comfortable, clean and the staff was friendly and competent. Thanks to Aggrey we could enjoy our holiday in 2021 - althought we booked for 2020.
