Safari summary

This mid-range safari offers an ideal short getaway into the wild heart of Tanzania. Over two action-packed days, you’ll explore two of the country’s most iconic and diverse national parks: Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater. While the trip is brief, it delivers a deep and exciting wildlife experience. Tarangire is famous for its vast elephant herds, ancient baobab trees, and sweeping savannah landscapes. Game drives here offer excellent opportunities to spot lions, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, and an incredible array of birdlife. The Tarangire River acts as a lifeline during the dry season, drawing large concentrations of animals to its banks. You'll spend your day exploring the park in a private 4x4 safari vehicle, led by a professional guide who will share insights into the behavior and habitats of the wildlife you encounter.

The next day takes you to the Ngorongoro Crater—an awe-inspiring natural wonder and UNESCO World Heritage Site. The crater is home to one of the densest populations of large mammals in Africa, making it one of the best places to spot the Big Five: lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo. Descending 600 meters into the caldera, you’ll explore a world rich in life, from hippos lounging in freshwater pools to prides of lions stalking the open plains. Throughout the journey, you’ll enjoy scenic drives, picnic-style meals surrounded by nature, and restful overnights in comfortable mid-range lodges that provide a perfect balance of affordability and comfort. Whether you're a first-time visitor or returning to explore more of Tanzania, this 2-day adventure delivers big rewards in a short amount of time.
