3 Days Hakuna Matata Northern Safari
3-Day Tanzania Safaris
This 3-day safari in Tanzania starts and ends in Arusha town, which is the main place for all safaris in Northern Tanzania. The tour is good for all ages because the parks are close to each other.
The safari starts and ends in Arusha and includes visits to Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park, and Lake Manyara National Park.
First, you’ll visit Tarangire National Park, known for its large elephant herds and big baobab trees. You’ll stay in a nice tented camp near the park with great views or in a cheaper lodge in Karatu after the game drives in Tarangire.
