Discover the beauty of Tanzania on this 3-day private budget safari, combining incredible wildlife encounters, breathtaking landscapes, fascinating history, and authentic Maasai culture.
Explore Lake Manyara National Park, enjoy a memorable game drive in the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater, visit the historic Olduvai Gorge, and experience traditional Maasai culture at a local Maasai Boma.
Designed for solo travellers, couples, families, and groups of friends, this safari offers an affordable and comfortable way to experience Tanzania privately. At Kilimark Adventures, we believe a budget safari should still provide a good level of comfort.
After a full day exploring Lake Manyara, you will spend the first night at Ese Manyara Eco Lodge or a similar comfortable budget lodge. On the second night, enjoy a comfortable camping experience at Simba Campsite, where we provide foldable camping beds, comfortable sleeping pads, and sleeping bags for a restful night. As this is a public campsite, bathroom facilities and dining areas are shared with other campers.
Whether you are travelling alone, with family, or with friends, this private safari combines affordability, comfort, and unforgettable experiences in Tanzania's northern safari circuit.
