Best 3-day Tanzania Camping safari to Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Manyara
Our 3-day Camping Safari in Tanzania is the ideal choice for those seeking an affordable, straightforward safari experience without sacrificing opportunities for wildlife sighting in a limited timeframe. This 3-day budget safari in Tanzania will take you to some of the top national parks within the Northern Tanzania Safari Circuit, including a stop at Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, and the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its wildlife diversity.
Where will you stay during this 3-day Tanzania joining or private camping safari?
The best budget camping safari in Tanzania lasts for 3 days.
Tarangire National Park features several campsites, but they are rarely utilized since visitors typically prefer to spend the night at more developed camping sites just outside the park, or even in Mto wa Mbu if continuing to Lake Manyara National Park the following day on an extended camping adventure.
Our package is no different, and you will either stay at a campsite just outside Tarangire National Park (especially if you want to do more early morning game drives, which incur extra park entry fees) or at a pleasant campsite at Lake Manyara, such as Migombani Campsite, Panorama Campsite, or Lilac Campsite Fanaka Campsite in Mto wa Mbu.
In addition to the campsites in Mto wa Mbu and at the borders of Tarangire, visitors can stay at the Ngorongoro Simba Campsite, situated at the rim of the renowned Ngorongoro Crater, offering lovely views of the crater floor. Please inquire for a quote regarding accommodations here.
What wildlife can you expect to see on your 3-day shared Camping Safari in Tanzania?
This 3-day camping safari in Tanzania, which includes visits to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, and the Ngorongoro Crater, provides an excellent opportunity to encounter a diverse range of wildlife and bird species within a short timeframe. It is, in fact, one of the most rewarding brief safaris in Tanzania, where you may have the chance to see all of the Big 5: Buffaloes, Elephants, Lions, Leopards, and Black Rhinos, with a bit of luck.
Beyond the Big 5, you can also observe numerous other species, including giraffes, zebras, impalas, gazelles, dik-diks, warthogs, hartebeests, and even gnus on the crater floor, as well as hyenas, cheetahs, serval cats, and many others. During your visit to the crater floor and Lake Manyara, you will also have the opportunity to spot a variety of both aquatic and terrestrial birds, including some rare species found exclusively in Tarangire National Park. This package is also available as a 3-day lodge safari in Tanzania from Arusha, or you can choose to book it as a 3-day Tanzania camping safari starting from Zanzibar.

-
“Any 3-day safari originating from Zanzibar will necessitate a flight to the mainland. This is due to the fact that a traditional safari experience cannot be had on Zanzibar Island itself. While Zanzibar does host some wildlife parks, they resemble zoos more than a true safari environment where wild animals can be observed.
-
The safari option that involves the least amount of flying is a trip to Saadani National Park, which is located near Dar es Salaam. You could either take a flight (or a boat) to Dar and subsequently drive to Saadani. All other safari alternatives require a flight from Zanzibar to the selected park; typically, this means heading to either Nyerere or Mikumi National Parks in the south.

There is a wide range of tours and packages available, but the genuine fly-in safari consists of flying to an airstrip located within (or just outside) the national park, where you will be picked up and transported to your lodging. This is the standard procedure for most safaris departing from Zanzibar.”
