3 DAYS – TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK, LAKE EYASI AND NGORONGORO NATIONAL PARK
This Tanzanian safari, which offers tours to the rugged Lake Eyasi, was recently added to our list of tours. The first day is spent in Tarangire National Park, where you can see ancient baobab trees and large herds of elephants. The following day, you will learn about the Hadzabe and Datooga tribes who live in Lake Eyasi. These tribes, an untouched culture, live according to ancient customs and traditions, hunting and gathering and living off the land. The third day is spent at the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its unique ecosystem and endangered wildlife.
This itinerary is an excellent value for money, with guests staying in comfortable lodges and hotels throughout the tour. A professional driver-guide will accompany you through the African bush and answer any questions you may have about the unique African wildlife you will see on a safari in Tanzania.
Package Itinerary - 3 days, 4 nights!
You will be greeted by a Hartlaub’s Travel representative on your arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) and transferred to a hotel in Arusha.
Please keep in mind that the hotel fee only includes breakfast. Check-in begins at 2:00 p.m.
After breakfast (around 7:30 a.m.), your safari guide will arrive at the hotel and notify the receptionist that he is expecting you. After meeting your driver, you will travel to Tarangire National Park and be on your first safari by 10:00 a.m. You will break for lunch and be treated to a served meal. The safari will resume after lunch and in the evening you will be transferred to a hotel.
This Park offers the opportunity to see a variety of wild Tanzanian animals (lions, buffalos, giraffes, zebras, and so on), but it is best known for its incredible number of elephants, which typically congregate near their drinking source, the Tarangire River.
Because this is wild nature, the guide cannot guarantee the presence of specific wild animals, but you can be assured that he will do his best to find everything you are looking for! The Hartlaub’s team has its own radio channel, which the drivers use to communicate with other guides and collaborate on rare species searches.
The day will start with an early morning wake-up call, breakfast and travel to Lake Eyasi, which includes a visit to a Hadzabe (Bushman) village where you can observe their daily lives and participate in a real hunt with them. You will have a break in the afternoon, and the driver will provide you with lunch boxes. The safari will continue after this stop, and you will be transferred to a hotel on the rim of the Ngorongoro volcanic crater by the evening.
It is best to leave the hotel as early as possible on this day to see the variety of animals that are only active in the morning hours; breakfast will be packed in lunchboxes specifically for this purpose. You will leave at 6:30 a.m. for Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and you will be inside the crater in about an hour.
By lunchtime, you will arrive at the lake's edge, where you will be given lunchboxes before continuing your safari. You will be transferred back to your hotel in Arusha in the evening.
Ngorongoro is one of Tanzania's most famous and interesting national parks, with the greatest number of different animal species per square kilometre. There will be buffalo, elephants, lions, wildebeests, zebras, hippopotamuses, and feline species such as caracals and servals to see. The most fortunate visitors may even come across a rhinoceros, an endangered species whose numbers are rapidly dwindling.
Rest at the hotel before transferring to the airport.
Please keep in mind that the hotel's check-out time is 11:00 a.m. If you need to check out late due to an evening flight, you can extend your hotel stay until 6:00 PM for an additional fee.
