1N/2D Tarangire and Ngorongoro Safari

Experience two of Tanzania’s most iconic wildlife destinations on this 2-day safari. Enjoy a game drive in Tarangire National Park, famous for its elephants and baobab trees, followed by a full-day safari in the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater, home to an incredible variety of African wildlife.

DAY 1: TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK

We will pick you up from your accommodation and depart to Tarangire National Park early morning. Full
day game drive in Tarangire National Park.

Tarangire has a diverse landscape, with nine vegetation zones. Ancient Baobab trees (the largest trees in
Africa) dot the landscape dwarfing the animals that feed beneath them. The Tarangire River that meanders
through the park attracts an abundance of wildlife, from elephants, lions, leopards, buffalos, zebras, giraffes, antelopes to a variety of colorful birds. The park is very famous for having the greatest elephant population in Tanzania, and during a safari there you will have the chance of quietly observing many families of elephants interacting. With a stop for a picnic lunch in an observatory inside the park where you will be able to view animals drinking water in the river (and many times lions attacking a thirsty zebra or wildebeest). continue game viewing and finally return for dinner and overnight at campsite.

DAY 2: NGORONGORO CRATER ALL DAY
Descend 600m into this magnificent crater for a morning game drive. The Ngorongoro Crater is one of
the most densely crowded African wildlife areas in the world and is home to an estimated 30,000
animals including some of Tanzania’s last remaining black rhino. Supported by a year-round water
supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro Crater supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of
wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants.

Another big draw card
to this picturesque national park is its dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals,
cheetahs and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot. We will enjoy a
picnic lunch in the crater. In the evening, a short drive back to Arusha.
