3 DAYS TANZANIA BUDGET CAMPING SAFARI
This three-day short safari will take you to three of the most beautiful areas that Tanzania has to offer in terms of its rich and varied wildlife. Lake Manyara is a beautiful national park that is most famous for its enchanting lake that hosts millions of pink flamingos. Ngorongoro Conservation Crater is the world’s largest intact crater and is brimming with animals such as rhinos, elephants, cheetahs, leopards, lions and hyenas. Finally, Tarangire is a beautiful park that is considered to be one of the least-visited parks in the country, making it even more special. The park is full of baobab and acacia trees and it also hosts a large variety of games such as zebras, elephants, giraffes and waterbuck.
Also on this tour, you have less drive from one destination to another, which means that you get more time to spend in the park. This tour is the best option for those who wish to enjoy an authentic Tanzanian safari without having to spend as much time in the country.
