3-Day Group Joining Safari

3 Days / 2 Nights·Gosheni SafarisVerified Operator

Overview

Tanzania's cheapest safari option — join a shared group for 3 days visiting Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara with camping accommodation from just $320 per person.

This is the most affordable way to experience Tanzania's northern circuit — join an existing group of travellers and share the cost of a 4x4 vehicle and guide. Visit three stunning parks over three days: Tarangire for elephant herds, the Ngorongoro Crater for Big Five on the crater floor, and Lake Manyara for tree-climbing lions. Groups are kept small (maximum 6 people per vehicle) for a quality experience. Budget camping and shared costs make this ideal for solo travellers, backpackers, and anyone who wants to safari on the tightest budget possible.
