2 Days Safari
Lake Manyara National Park – Ngorongoro Crater
Overview
Our 2 days to the Lake Manyara National Park and Ngorongoro Crater safari packages were designed to offer visitors, with a time constraint, a short but very intense adventure experience. You will experience the excitement of an African wildlife safari or even a photographic safari in two of the most spectacular National game parks in Tanzania.
This unforgettable African safari tour will take you to Lake Manyara National Park, one of Tanzania’s most dramatically located wildlife areas, consisting of a shallow but huge soda lake, at the foot of the Great Rift Valley’s western escarpment. Your tour will also take you to the Ngorongoro Crater, featuring one of the highest concentrations of game in Africa. Here you will witness an amazing spectacle of African wildlife – inside a self-contained world, teeming with animals. The size of both the selected Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater, make them a perfect choice for our shorter safaris, or a photographic safari.
