Embark on an unforgettable Tanzanian adventure with our A Taste of Tanzania – 5 Days Budget Safari” package. This carefully crafted package offers two distinct itineraries, each showcasing Tanzania’s iconic wildlife reserves. Over five days, explore Tarangire National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara National Park, encountering diverse wildlife.
Choose between comfortable mid-range camping or lodge accommodations, ensuring a restful night’s sleep amidst the Tanzanian wilderness. These mid-range options are designed to be budget-friendly, providing exceptional value without compromising on comfort. Whether captivated by ancient baobab trees, mesmerized by tree-climbing lions, or touched by the rich Maasai culture, this safari promises moments that stay with you.
With Benson Safaris, safety and comfort are priorities, allowing you to focus on creating cherished memories. Experience the magic of Tanzania up close and personal through two unique itineraries, each offering a different perspective of this stunning region.
Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you will be met by a Benson Safaris Tanzania Transfer Driver and driven to your lodge where the remainder of the day is at leisure – rest in your room, enjoy a swim in the pool or explore Arusha and the surrounding areas on one of our day tours – the choice is yours.
After breakfast you will drive to Tarangire National Park for a full day game drive. Tarangire is one of Africa’s little-known gems and should be on the itinerary of all lovers of wilderness and solitude. Its name originates from the Tarangire River that crosses through the park and is the only source of water during the dry season.
Today you will be rewarded with a full day game drive in the stunning Ngorongoro Crater which became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979 and is one of the only places on earth where mankind and wild animals co-exist is harmony. The Ngorongoro Crater is famous for Africa’s best game viewing as there is an ever present abundance of wildlife due to the permanent water supply on the crater floor.
Upon arrival at the Crater’s rim you will descend 610 metres into the Crater where your safari truly begins. Spot the endangered black rhino as well as wildebeest, buffalo, zebra, eland, Grant’s and Thomson’s gazelle and of course, giant tusked elephants. The Crater also has the largest known population of lions and you will also find leopards and cheetahs as well as scavengers such as spotted hyenas, jackals and rare wild dogs. Over 500 species of birds have been recorded within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and these include white pelicans and flamingos.
In the late afternoon you will drive to Isoitok Tented Camp located on Maasai land in the Manyara region where you will spend the night.
Today you will visit Lake Manyara National Park for a full day game drive. Stretching along the base of the Rift Valley escarpment, Lake Manyara is home to giant fig trees, acacia woodlands, mahogany trees and grassy flood plains. The contrasts of this area are simply breathtaking with its open plains, huge escarpment, Soda Lake, dense woodlands, and distant volcanic peaks coming together in an area best described by Ernest Hemingway as “the loveliest I had seen in Africa”.
Animals such as large buffalo, wildebeest, giraffes, mongoose, dik dik and zebra herds congregate on the grassy plains while the narrow belt of acacia woodland is home to the legendary tree-climbing lions and tusked elephants.
Lake Manyara provides the perfect introduction to Tanzania’s bird life with more than 400 species being recorded. Highlights include thousands of pink-hued flamingos on their perpetual migration, as well as other large waterbirds such as pelicans, cormorants and storks.
In the late afternoon you will return to Arusha for your final evening.
Today you will be transferred to the airport for your onward flight.
