Safari summary
This safari will focus on two wildlife destinations in Tanzania that are naturally beautiful and filled with wildlife throughout the year: Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater.
Arusha town, known as the safari capital, is the starting point for most safaris in the Northern Circuit of Tanzania. Arusha is conveniently located near Kilimanjaro International Airport but it also has its own small airport if you wish to fly here from another local city. Both Tarangire and Ngorongoro are located close enough to Arusha town that a 2-day, 1-night wildlife safari covering both parks can be great success for those that are short on time when in Tanzania.
We will depart from Arusha city in the morning for a full day game drive in Tarangire National Park. Here you will witness the large herds of elephants and huge baobab trees scattered around the savanna. After a day in Tarangire, we will overnight in Karatu, a nearby town conveniently located between Tarangire and Ngorongoro.
Staying in Karatu allows us to enter the Ngorongoro Crater early in the day – one of the best times to see wildlife there. The Ngorongoro Crater is considered the “Garden of Eden” for wildlife viewing. It will not disappoint. The beauty of the crater, with walls that create a fabulous backdrop for your photographs, will astound you. Here we will spend the day viewing as much of the crater as possible and enjoy a picnic lunch at a most beautiful location beside the water. Enjoy the spectacular views as we ascend the crater and return by evening to Arusha town.
