Detailed Tanzania 3 Days Sharing Joining Safari Itinerary

Day 1

Arusha to Tarangire National Park

In the morning, you will be collected from your hotel or an agreed meeting point in Arusha. After meeting your safari driver-guide and the other group members, begin the journey to Tarangire National Park.

Tarangire is famous for its large elephant populations, ancient baobab trees, seasonal swamps, and the Tarangire River. The river serves as an important water source and attracts wildlife, particularly during the dry season.

During the game drive, you may see elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, buffaloes, impalas, warthogs, lions, leopards, cheetahs, and many bird species. Enjoy a picnic lunch inside the park and continue with an afternoon game drive.

Later, drive to your campsite, lodge, or tented camp near Mto wa Mbu or Karatu for dinner and overnight accommodation.

Day 2

Ngorongoro Crater Game Drive

After an early breakfast, drive to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and descend approximately 600 meters into the Ngorongoro Crater for a memorable wildlife game drive.

The crater contains grasslands, forests, wetlands, and a soda lake. It supports a high concentration of wildlife, including lions, elephants, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeests, hippos, spotted hyenas, jackals, gazelles, warthogs, and many bird species.

Ngorongoro Crater is also one of Tanzania’s best places to search for the endangered black rhino. However, wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed because animals move freely within their natural environment.

Enjoy a picnic lunch near the hippo pool and continue with an afternoon game drive. Later, ascend from the crater and return to your campsite, lodge, or tented camp near Karatu or Mto wa Mbu for dinner and overnight accommodation.

Day 3

Lake Manyara National Park and Return to Arusha

After breakfast, drive to Lake Manyara National Park for the final game drive of your three-day Tanzania sharing safari.

Lake Manyara National Park lies beneath the dramatic Great Rift Valley escarpment and contains groundwater forest, open grassland, wetlands, acacia woodland, and an alkaline lake.

During the game drive, you may see elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, hippos, blue monkeys, baboons, impalas, warthogs, and many bird species. Depending on water levels and seasonal conditions, flamingos and other waterbirds may also be observed.

Enjoy a picnic lunch and continue exploring the park. In the afternoon, drive back to Arusha, where your Tanzania 3 Days Sharing Joining Safari ends.

How the Sharing Joining Safari Works

A sharing joining safari allows travelers with similar itineraries and travel dates to share one safari vehicle. This reduces the total safari cost because vehicle expenses, driver-guide services, and operational costs are divided among the participants.

The safari vehicle may carry up to seven guests, and each traveler normally has access to a window seat. Although transportation and game drives are shared, guests selecting lodge or tented-camp accommodation stay in their own private rooms with bathroom facilities.

Group Safari Note: Pickup times, departure times, lunch stops, and game-drive schedules are coordinated for the entire group. Guests should be punctual and flexible so the safari can operate smoothly.

Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park is known for large elephant herds, ancient baobab trees, seasonal swamps, and diverse birdlife. Its river attracts many animals during the dry season and provides excellent wildlife-viewing opportunities.

Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro Crater is a large volcanic caldera with one of Africa’s highest concentrations of wildlife. It offers opportunities to see lions, buffaloes, elephants, hyenas, hippos, wildebeests, zebras, and black rhinos.

Lake Manyara National Park

Lake Manyara National Park is known for its groundwater forest, Great Rift Valley scenery, elephants, giraffes, hippos, monkeys, baboons, antelopes, and diverse birdlife. The park provides a beautiful contrast to Tarangire and Ngorongoro.
