Safari summary

Experience two of Tanzania’s most spectacular wildlife destinations on this unforgettable safari through Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Tarangire National Park. This journey combines dramatic scenery, rich wildlife encounters, and world-renowned safari experiences in northern Tanzania.

Begin in Tarangire National Park, famous for its ancient baobab trees and massive elephant herds. The Tarangire River attracts a high concentration of wildlife, especially during the dry season, offering excellent opportunities to spot lions, leopards, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, and over 500 bird species.
Continue to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, home to the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater — the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera.

The unique ecosystem allows for close-range wildlife viewing within a breathtaking natural setting.

This safari perfectly blends scenic beauty, wildlife abundance, and authentic African wilderness, making it ideal for travelers seeking a rich and diverse safari experience.
