Weekend Getaway Safari

Safaris

Why not do a romantic weekend getaway to Tanzania. Tarangire National Park and Lake Manyara National Park have some of the highest concentrations of wildlife in Africa and we can guarantee you that this could be the highlights of your year.

2Days/ 1 Night

Tarangire National Park
Lake Manyara National Park

This Park also gives you the ability of doing Night game drives

Like in Lake Manyara, plenty of accommodation options can serve this park. However, only a few are inside the park and those are the ones we recommend the most.

Day 1

TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK

Tarangire is famous for its diverse landscape with nine different vegetation zones. The park is particularly known for the abundance of Ancient Baobab trees (the largest trees in the continent) which fill the landscape and dwarf the animals next to them. The river of the park is full of wildlife ranging from a large variety of birds to lions, leopards, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, antelopes and, of course, elephants. In fact, the park has the largest concentration of elephants in the whole country and provides unique chances to observe the interaction between elephant families. The lunch area is fascinating, boasting an observatory with amazing views to the river and wildlife (with good chances of seeing a hunt while having your picnic). In the afternoon we will still do a game drive before continuing to your accommodation.

Recommended Accommodations; Tarangire Simba Lodge | Tarangire Sopa Lodge | Tarangire Ang’ata Lodge | Olivers Camp

We recommend also doing a Cultural bike tour in Mto Wa Mbu village

There is plenty of accommodation that serves this park. All of them (except for AndBeyond Manyara Tree Lodge) are outside the park, in Manyara and Mto Wa Mbu Region.

Day 2

LAKE MANYARA NATIONAL PARK

Beautiful short journey across the Great Rift Valley until Lake Manyara National Park for a full day game drive. Although small in dimension (205 sq. miles), the park has breathtaking scenery and well famous for its lush acacia forest, giant figs and mahogany trees, as well as to a growing population of baboons and blue monkeys. Permanent residents of this park also include giraffes, elephants, impalas and a huge amount of buffaloes. The lake is also home to a large number of hippos. Some unique facts about this park include the tree climbing lions, flamingos in the lake shore, as well as the Ground Hornbill and the Crested Eagle. The landscapes of Lake Manyara are something that can not be described with words, and the game drives along the lake provide stunning photo opportunities of giraffes and buffaloes in the foreground and the lake (and its flamingos) in the background. During this day, some extra tours are possible, including a bike tour or a boat excursion. In the afternoon, transfer to the camp for dinner.
