Tanzania short safari can be done throughout the year. This is with the exception of the rainy season which is from mid-March to the end of April. Sometimes when we have a serious rains season, Lake Manyara park gets full of water and is not friendly for a visit. This happens when we have too much rain season than expected. We advise our guests to contact us so that we can give them further advice before making their final travel choice/decision.

Otherwise, this is among the shortest safari package we can offer, but the most beautiful trip.

Stop at the picturesque park gate for the driver to fill up the park registration book. Full-day game drive in the park enjoying viewing animals in the park. Soon, the impressive Great Rift Valley Escarpment will come into view – a 2,000-foot high wall that rises up, improbably steep and incredibly tall, out of the flat plains.
Elephants, Buffalo, pythons are seen easily regularly cross your path, unbothered by your benign presence and going about their daily routines. You’ll meander along bush tracks and explore the Tarangire River’s twists and turns, finding elephants drinking and playing in the refreshing waters.

DAY 3

Meals: Breakfast & Lunch
Ngorongoro Crater Floor/Kilimanjaro Airport.
Rise early for breakfast before you spend a half-day exploring the Crater Floor. The area is world-renowned in its reputation and very small in its size. You will definitely see other safari-goers. Don’t let that distract you from the beauty of the place or from the fact that this remains one of the only places on earth where you may see all of the big five at once: lion, leopard, Bull Elephant, African Buffalo, and Black Rhino. To maximize your time on the crater floor, you will enjoy a special boxed lunch at a scenic picnic spot. Your journey will take you through this tremendous landscape that is constantly changing as animals move to and fro in search of pasture, water, or prey. Later in the afternoon, drive back to Arusha. End of the trip.
