Lake Manyara, N'gorongoro, Tarangire
3 days/2 Nights

This awe-inspiring safari in Northern Tanzania covers two national parks providing an unparalleled game-viewing experience. Both the N’gorongoro Crater and the Lake Manyara National Park offer up some of the most widely-ranging examples of the diversity contained within Africa. In addition to an encyclopedia of wildlife, the Great Rift Valley offers such natural oddities as a soda lake and other dramatic views of the patterned areas of this portion of our earth.

Proposed Itinerary

Day 1.   After breakfast, participants will be picked-up at their respective project followed by a journey to Lake Manyara National Park for a full day's safari accompanied by a picnic lunch. Located within the daunting confines of the Great Rift Valley , said park is recognized for it cornucopia of wildlife, including: buffalo, elephant, giraffe, impala, hippo… just to name a few. The day concludes with an overnight stay at either Camp Vision 's guesthouse or a campsite in the village of Mto we Mbu.

Day 2.   Journey to the N’gorongoro Crater for a day-time game drive. With the naturally-occurring elements barricading animals within the crater's high-reaching, restricting walls (as high as 2000 feet), the specimens of wildlife is so diversified and often includes: lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, flamingos, jackals, rhinos, antelopes as well as a prismatic catalog of bird specimens and other wild animals. The group will also have a picnic lunch on the crater's wide bottom. The day concludes with an overnight stay at either Camp Vision 's guesthouse or a campsite in the village of Mto we Mbu.

Day 3.   . Voyage to Tarangire National Park for a full day's safari accompanied by a picnic lunch.

Tarangire National is an ornithologist's paradise, offering a variety of feathered species, including some of the most aggressive birds of prey flapping their expansive wings over the famously-varied fauna rich in birds of prey and an incredible diversity of avifauna.
