3 Days Fly-in Safari Tanzania | Ngorongoro, Tarangire & Manyara

3 Days Fly-in Safari to Tarangire, Lake Manyara & Ngorongoro Crater

5 photos

Skip the long drive and fly straight from Zanzibar to Arusha — in three days you’ll cover Tarangire’s elephant herds, Lake Manyara’s tree-climbing lions and birdlife, and the Ngorongoro Crater, one of the most concentrated wildlife areas on the planet and home to the Big Five.

It’s built for travelers who don’t have two weeks to spare but still want a real safari, not a compressed, rushed version of one. A private 4×4 and guide take you through all three parks, with the flight saving you the better part of a day each way compared to driving from Zanzibar.

Bring your passport; travel insurance is recommended.
