A compact three-day safari that skips the long Serengeti transfer. Tarangire's elephants, Lake Manyara's tree-climbing lions and the wildlife-packed Ngorongoro Crater are all within easy reach, perfect when time is short.
Short on time?
This route is built for travellers with only a few days, often before or after a Kilimanjaro climb. You still see the Big Five thanks to the crater, without the long drive to and from the Serengeti.
