Best Time to Visit

The best time for this safari is the dry season (late June to October), ideal for wildlife viewing as animals gather around water sources. The short dry season (January-February) offers clear skies and fewer crowds, perfect for photography. The green season (March-May) brings lush landscapes, with light rains rarely disrupting activities. All three parks offer excellent sightings year-round. As of today, the dry season ensures optimal game viewing conditions, with Tarangire’s elephant herds and Ngorongoro’s dense wildlife particularly vibrant.

Why Choose Lake Manyara, Tarangire, and Ngorongoro Crater?

• Lake Manyara National Park: Known for its tree-climbing lions and flamingo-filled lake, this compact park offers diverse habitats, from groundwater forests to acacia woodlands, with elephants, hippos, and over 400 bird species.
• Tarangire National Park: Famous for its large elephant herds, iconic baobab trees, and diverse ecosystems, Tarangire provides a quieter safari experience with lions, giraffes, and over 550 bird species, centered around the Tarangire River.
• Ngorongoro Crater: A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this natural caldera hosts nearly 30,000 animals in a compact area. It’s one of the best places to spot the rare black rhino and the Big Five in a single day.
