2-Day Safari to Tarangire & Ngorongoro Crater
This fun 2-day safari takes you to two of Tanzania’s most famous national parks: Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater. It’s great for people with limited time, giving you the chance to see amazing wildlife and beautiful scenery.
Day 1: Arusha – Tarangire National Park
Your adventure begins with an early morning departure from Arusha, heading to Tarangire National Park, one of Tanzania’s most underrated gems. Known for its iconic baobab trees and large herds of elephants, Tarangire offers a stunning, less-crowded safari experience. The park is also home to a variety of wildlife including lions, zebras, giraffes, wildebeest, and over 500 species of birds.
Enjoy a full-day game drive with a picnic lunch inside the park, soaking in the rich landscapes and diverse wildlife. In the late afternoon, drive to your lodge or tented camp near the Ngorongoro area for dinner and overnight.

Day 2: Ngorongoro Crater – Arusha
After an early breakfast, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most spectacular wildlife destinations on Earth. This massive volcanic caldera is home to the Big Five (lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo, and leopard), and offers a high chance of spotting them in just one game drive.
The Crater’s unique ecosystem supports a rich concentration of wildlife within a relatively small area, making it one of the best places in Africa for guaranteed animal sightings. After a picnic lunch by the hippo pool, begin your journey back to Arusha, arriving in the early evening.
