Our 3-day Camping safari in Tanzania is the best you can take if you are looking for a ‘no-frills’ budget safari in Tanzania but still enjoying all the wildlife and game-watching opportunities that you can get in the shortest time possible.

This 3 days safari in Tanzania takes you to some of the best national parks in the Northern Tanzania Safari Circuit including a visit to Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park as well as the Ngorongoro Crater which is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the best wildlife areas in Africa and the whole world.

3 days Tanzania Camping Safari Where to Stay?

Tarangire National Park has several campsites inside but they are seldom used because clients on safari in Tarangire National Park would rather spend the night in better-established camping grounds just outside the park or even at Mto wa Mbu closer to Lake Manyara National Park if going that way the next day on a longer camping safari in Tanzania. Our package is no exception and you will either spend the night at a campsite just outside the Tarangire National Park (especially if you wish to do more game drives early in the morning ( at extra park entry fees cost), or you can simply spend the night at a nice campsite at Lake Manyara like the Migombani Campsite or the Panorama Campsite or Lilac Campsite Fanaka Campsite at Mto wa Mbu.

Apart from the campsites at Mto wa Mbu and at the park boundaries of Tarangire one can stay at the Ngorongoro Simba Campsite which is located at the edge of the famous Ngorongoro Crater with a nice view over the Crater floor. Please request a quote for staying here.

Arusha - Tarangire National Park

Pick up from Arusha early in the morning and drive for around 2 hours along a nice paved road to Tarangire National Park which is along the way when you take the Arusha – Dodoma Road; past Makuyuni Junction. Tarangire National Park is the place to be if you want to see elephant herds in their big numbers as well as other big game and birdlife. Dotted with gigantic baobab trees the Tarangire National Park is one of the parks where you can see most of the big five including the leopards, Buffaloe’s lions, and elephants with one exception of the Rhino. The park derives its name from the Tarangire River which flows across the park ensuring the park is teeming with wildlife throughout the year. You will do game drives until later in the afternoon then transfer to Mto wa Mbu where you will spend the night at a campsite at Mto wa Mbu near Lake Manyara. Lunch and dinner included.

The 3rd and last day of your safari will be spent at this small gem of a park which is constantly lush green with leafy green forests that are fed by underground rivers making it a very beautiful park regardless of its size. You will do game drives in the few plains inside this park while elephants and giraffes can be spotted as you pass the forests right from the park’s entrance. The park is also home to thousands of primates including cheeky monkeys and large troops of baboons that reside in this wildlife park.The lake itself makes up for two-thirds of the park (220 Km Square) and at the shores of the lake, you will see a lot of hippos as well as aquatic birds like cormorants, Egyptian geese, herons, as well the Greater and lesser flamingos that flock in this lake.  Later in the afternoon depending on your schedule, you will be transferred back to Arusha where your safari ends.
