Small Group Tour

Safari summary

Begin your African adventure with a compact, high impact safari through Tanzania’s untamed wilderness. This 2 day Small Group Safari is designed for travelers short on time but big on ambition those who dream of iconic wildlife, jaw dropping landscapes, and authentic safari moments without needing a week long itinerary. You’ll explore two of the most legendary destinations in northern Tanzania: Tarangire National Park and the world renowned Ngorongoro Crater.

Traveling with Tanzania Safari Source, a trusted and locally owned safari company, you’ll experience an intimate, expertly guided journey through the heart of East Africa’s most celebrated ecosystems. With a maximum of 6 people per vehicle, this small group tour ensures that every guest enjoys window seat game viewing, personalized attention, and shared adventure with fellow nature lovers.

Your journey begins with Tarangire National Park, a hidden gem known for its massive elephant herds and towering baobab trees. The park is a sanctuary for wildlife, particularly during the dry season (June to October), when thousands of animals flock to the life giving Tarangire River. This seasonal migration includes zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, eland, and impala, and it creates one of Tanzania’s lesser known but truly spectacular mini migration events. Predators such as lions and leopards are never far behind, and with luck, you may witness thrilling scenes of nature’s raw drama unfold before your eyes.

Tarangire also offers outstanding birdlife, with over 500 species recorded from colorful bee-eaters to soaring raptors. Game drives through its rugged savannah and rolling hills are rich in variety and surprise, all under the guidance of your expert Tanzania Safari Source driver guide. With insightful commentary and sharp eyes trained on the horizon, your guide will help you spot wildlife large and small, from a herd of giraffes silhouetted against the morning sun to a family of warthogs darting through the brush.

After an exhilarating day in Tarangire, you’ll head toward the lush highlands of Ngorongoro. Spend the evening at a cozy lodge or tented camp, tucked away in the cool hills surrounding the crater. Relax by the fire, savor a hearty dinner, and prepare for the next day’s adventure into one of the world’s most celebrated wildlife sanctuaries.

The second day takes you into the Ngorongoro Crater, often referred to as the Eighth Wonder of the World. This ancient caldera, formed nearly 3 million years ago, is a haven for wildlife and offers one of the highest concentrations of animals anywhere in Africa. Descending into the crater, you’ll explore a natural amphitheater teeming with lion, elephant, buffalo, hippos, wildebeest, and even the endangered black rhino.

Though the main herds of the Great Migration typically move through the Serengeti, the crater is closely linked to this iconic natural event. Many migratory species, such as wildebeest and zebra, pass through or seasonally graze on the crater floor, following ancient instinctual paths. As such, the Ngorongoro Crater offers you a rare chance to witness parts of the Migration’s ever shifting network whether it's the grazers themselves or the predators that follow them.

You’ll enjoy a full morning game drive in this wildlife rich setting, stopping for a scenic picnic lunch beside the hippo pool. Take in the sweeping views, the sounds of the wild, and the deep peace that can only be found in such a remote and pristine place. After your crater exploration, you'll ascend back to the rim and begin the drive back to Arusha, arriving in the late afternoon or early evening.

This 2 day Small Group Safari is perfect for solo travelers, couples, or friends seeking a powerful glimpse into Tanzania’s wild beauty. It’s an ideal add on to a Kilimanjaro trek, a beach holiday in Zanzibar, or a short visit through East Africa. Despite its short duration, this tour delivers the full flavor of a Tanzanian safari: thrilling wildlife, world class parks, and deep connection to the land.
