5 Days Tanzania Safari Extension | Tarangire, Manyara & Ngorongoro

You step out of Kilimanjaro International Airport and your personal WeGuide African guide greets you with a warm smile: ‘Karibu Tanzania — welcome to Tanzania!’
Your guide takes you straight to your hotel. Here, you settle in, relax, and soak up the African atmosphere for the first time. Take a deep breath — your adventure starts tomorrow.
The next morning, your guide picks you up and your exclusive private safari begins. You travel entirely at your own pace. Stop whenever you like, stay as long as you want, and let the bush unfold around you. Your luxury private 4×4 safari jeep is yours alone so every moment belongs to you.

Tarangire National Park is well known for its big groups of elephants and the huge amount of giant baobab trees. These trees can live for hundreds of years and are actually a source of water for elephants in the dry season as they have a special technique to draw water from them. Besides, the Tarangire River is the only source of water in the dry season, which is why in this season in Tarangire you can see groups of up to 250 elephants next to many more animals!

Lake Manyara National Park lies between Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater, right along the 400 meters deep Great Rift Valley. The park boasts a variety of landscapes that attract many different animals. You can for example visit the lake that covers 75 percent of the park, pass through a dense rainforest with hundreds of monkeys and birds, and see elephants up close in the woodlands.

The famous Ngorongoro Crater is one of Africa’s seven natural wonders. The crater was formed two million years ago when a vast volcano erupted. The fertile lava has created a unique ecosystem, now home to the highest concentration of animals found anywhere in Africa! Once in the crater, thousands of animals such as lions, zebras, buffalos and black rhinos surround you, and the views are astounding – you won’t know where to look!

The last day! Depending on your flight time, you can relax in the lodge a bit longer before heading to Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) for your flight home. Having second thoughts? It’s also possible to add a few days to your holiday by going to one of Tanzania’s paradise islands, such as Zanzibar, Pemba, or Mafia!
