Tarangire & Ngorongoro Tour

Safari summary

This 2-day mid-range lodge safari is designed for travelers who want to experience Tanzania’s world-renowned wildlife in a short but rewarding trip. You’ll visit two of the country’s most iconic destinations: Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater. Tarangire offers breathtaking views of rolling savannah dotted with massive baobab trees and is famous for its large elephant herds. During your game drive, you’ll also spot lions, giraffes, zebras, antelopes, and a variety of bird species. After a full day of exploring, you’ll relax in a comfortable mid-range lodge near the highlands, where you can enjoy local hospitality and a warm meal.

The second day takes you into the heart of the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the best places in Africa to spot the Big Five. The crater’s unique ecosystem supports an incredible concentration of wildlife, including rhinos, hippos, elephants, and predators like lions and hyenas. You’ll descend into the crater early in the morning to take advantage of the cool weather and higher animal activity, enjoying a scenic picnic lunch near a hippo pool before returning to Arusha. With a professional guide, private vehicle, and carefully chosen accommodations, this short safari offers maximum adventure and wildlife in minimal time perfect for those on a tight schedule.
