After breakfast at your lodge, the Kanga Adventures driver guide and the chef will meet you at the lodge and you will start your driving via Arusha city to Lake Manyara National Park for a game drive.

On arrival at Lake Eyasi, you will visit the Datoga tribe who are “blacksmiths”, accompanied by a local guide you will go around their homes to experience their livelihood & meet members of the family & kids. Later you will visit the blacksmith & after is a sunset walk at the Lakeshore before going to your Campsite for dinner & overnight.
Overnight at Bushman Campsite close to the Lake. All meals included.
On this day, short Tanzania camping safaris take you for an early morning hunting with bushmen including short tuition on survival skills. The bushman at Lake Eyasi is divided into small groups of Hadzebe, Tindiga, and Datoga living hunting with bow and arrows, feeding on roots and wild fruits just as much as humankind lived in the Stone Age.
Afterward, you will come back to the campsite for a full breakfast before departing for Serengeti National Park, the driving is along the beautiful high-lying farmland of Karatu up to Ngorongoro main gate & across Ngorongoro Conservation Area at (2,300 m). You will stop at the Crater viewpoint for some great pictures of the Ngorongoro Crater floor from the rim.
Then drive down to the heart of “The wild Africa” Serengeti National Park with its endless rolling plains. You can have your packed lunch at Naabi Hill Gate or at the kopjes (rocky outcropping) before starting your en-route game drive toward the central Park area called Soronera. Sunset game drives while searching for Wildebeest Migration (if will be packed in Serengeti). Late afternoon drive to your campsite for dinner & overnight.

Day 3: Serengeti – Ngorongoro Conservation Area
Distance: 145 km
Nongame viewing time: 2 to 4 hours.
On the 3rd day of your short Tanzania camping safari, we take you for an early morning game drive inn the Serengeti starting at 06:30. You will spend much time in Serengeti before driving to Ngorongoro with an en-route game drive. Morning game drive in Serengeti can allow you to spot cat families on the road as they avoid the morning mist. You can as well see other predators coming back from their long night of hunting or a group of lioness organizing morning ambush and other animals waking up ready to start their new day.
If the Wildebeest Migration will be in Serengeti you will go straight to where they are & spend much time with the herds before starting your en-route game drive toward Ngorongoro highlands. (Option) Masai village visit on your way to Ngorongoro Conservation Area (extra cost $30 per car), reach Ngorongoro Conservation Area for sunset watch dinner & overnight.
Overnight at Simba Public Campsite at the Crater rim. All meals included.
As early as 06:30 you will ascend 600 meters into the Crater floor for great game viewing. Ngorongoro Crater is believed to be one of the natural wonders of the world. Supported yearly around water supply and fodder the Crater supports a variety of wildlife which include herds of buffalo, zebra, wildebeest, eland, warthog, hippos, African elephant & the rare black Rhino. This is among the few places in the world where you can find black rhinos in their natural habitats.
Another draw card in this picturesque Crater is the dense population of predators which include lions, cheetahs, Jackals, hyenas & the mysterious leopard that needs a binocular eye to spot. You will also visit Lake Magadi larger but shallow salt Lake at the southwest corner of the crater floor frequently visited by hippos, flocks of flamingos & other aquatic birds. After the picnic lunch more game drive before starting your way back to Arusha for overnight or drop off at Kilimanjaro international airport for a late flight.
