Description

A short but a very intense Tanzanian Northern Circuit wildlife safari 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 Africa safari will take you to the one of Tanzania’s most dramatically located wildlife areas, consisting of a shallow but huge soda lake, located at the foot of the Great Rift Valley’s western escarpment and 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 national parks, make them a perfect choice for our shorter safaris, or a photographic safari. This is a suggested or sample Tanzanian safari itinerary – it can be adapted to suite your own personal needs and preferences, to any seasonal changes.

Tarangire & Ngorongoro Safari

The safari was a unique experience. If you like elephants, tarangire is your place. There are plenty of them. Also there are monkeys, zebras and giraffes. However it is not such big and green as Ngorongoro crater. In Ngorongoro you will see more animals such as beef, pumba, zebras, hippos, flamingos, different breeds of birds etc. The only thing that disappointed us is that we were expecting to see lions and tigers, but there were not. The accommodation in manyara lake was extremely etherial. If you want a more complete experience i would suggest to take Serengeti safari. However, for a first experience, it was great. The team Mathew(driver) and Raymond (watcher) were the best we could have!!! Very polite, helpful and grateful! Thank you for all guys!! Hope to explore more safaris with you again!

Dear THIELE, Thank you so much for sharing your detailed feedback! It was a pleasure to have you with us for your first safari experience. We are thrilled that you enjoyed the "elephant paradise" of Tarangire and the lush, animal-rich floor of the Ngorongoro Crater. We will certainly pass your kind words to Mathew (driver) and Raymond (watcher). They were so happy to hear you found them polite and helpful—they truly enjoyed guiding you! Regarding your wildlife sightings, we appreciate your honesty. While the Ngorongoro Crater has one of the highest densities of lions in Africa, they can sometimes be masters of camouflage in the tall grass. As for tigers, it is a common misconception, but they are actually native only to Asia and do not live in the wild in Africa. However, Africa's "Big Five"—including the elusive leopard and the kingly lion—more than make up for it with their unique majesty! We love your suggestion about the Serengeti. You are absolutely right—for a "complete" experience with endless horizons and massive pride of lions, the Serengeti is the heart of the wild. You are highly welcomed back to Tanzania anytime! We would love to take you to the Serengeti on your next adventure so you can witness those lions you missed this time. Wishing you a happy and adventurous life together! With gratitude, The Great Image Expedition Team

More experience in less time

This 3-day package is the best use of time. Every day we have a different experience in the planning of Great Image Expedition Ltd. The baobabs and elephants of Tarangire, the animals of Ngorongoro Crater, and the birds of Lake Manyara - all seem to be alive. Everything was on time, food and accommodation were good, and the guide was knowledgeable and cordial. I would definitely recommend this package.

Honestly, I will never forget this safari.

The three-day trip with the Great Image Expedition was very nice. On the first day in Tarangire, elephants and panthers were seen from very close. There is so much peace and quiet around. Not only the animals, I was fascinated by the huge baobab trees on the side of the road. The second day at Lake Manyara was full of birds, monkeys, and trees. The last day I went to Ngorongoro Crater - I couldn't believe that so many animals were together there. The guide was great and patiently explained everything; it was fun to listen to. The food was good too. In a word, a memorable trip.

A memorable Safari trip with Great Image Expedition

We had a great Safari experience with the 3 days Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manayara national parks tour. The entire trip was well arranged from nice comfortable accommodation to the picnic lunches to all the small details. Our Guide Jumaa Said was extremely knowledgeable and with his great experience we were able to see most of the animals and learn a great deal about the national parks and the animals they contain. It was definitely a tour worth the money.

MY FIRST SAFARI IN LIFE - THOSE DAYS ARE STILL VIVID IN MY MIND.

My three friends and I have long dreamed of an African safari. Finally, I decided to go on a three-day trip to Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara. The first thing that came to mind after reaching Tarangire was the huge baobab trees and the herd of elephants moving through them. The guide's voice then simply exclaimed, "You are lucky today!" Once upon a time, I saw two lions sitting under a tree and looking at our car. We didn't make any noise. Ngorongoro Crater is hard to describe. It is surrounded by mountains, with a vast plain in the middle, which is a different world altogether. The giraffe, the rhinoceros, the zebra, and the elephant are all moving around together. There is not a single locality, yet it is filled with the sound of nature. Lake Manyara was the last day of the safari, but after coming here, the mind was filled with peace. There was a sound of birds chirping. On one side, a group of monkeys are jumping; on the other side, the whole lake has become a picture in the pink color of the flamingo. I've seen a lot in three days. This trip will be one of the best memories of my life.

The most colorful moments of life in 3 days!!!

The three-day safari trip was short but a great experience. After entering Tarangire NP on the first day itself, we were impressed to see the group of elephants. The jeep was moving amidst the huge baobab trees and open wilderness, and the silence of the jungle was all around. The next day, Ngorongoro Crater - another world in the world. The lion, the rhinoceros, and the giraffe - all seemed to be waiting for us. On the last day, the game of flamingos and monkeys at Lake Manyara seemed to bid us farewell. The Great Image Expedition team guided us brilliantly throughout; every moment was a collection of memories.

THREE DAY AMAZING SAFARI EXPERIENCE - ABSOLUTELY MEMORABLE.

My family and I took part in a 3-day safari through Great Image Expedition Ltd., and it will be a memorable experience for us. The first day of our trip began at Tarangire National Park, where we saw numerous elephants and giraffes together. The park was quiet and clean, and the guide gave us a great explanation of each of the animals. The next day was the Ngorongoro Crater - a vast natural area inhabited by a variety of animals. There was an opportunity to see lions, rhinoceroses, and buffaloes from close quarters. On the last day we went to Lake Manyara National Park, where colorful birds and monkeys surprised us. Accommodations and food were excellent. We felt safe and secure at all times. Best of all was the use of a guide - he was friendly, knew where to go, and told great stories. I would recommend G.I.E.L.

Awesome!

Had a great time, my guide Raymond and driver Mudi were super helpful and polite. I traveled with my 1 year old daughter and Mudi was always thoughtful in making sure she was okay. Would highly recommend GIE for all your tour adventures in Tanzania!
