2-Day Private Tanzania Safari: Tarangire & Ngorongoro

Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport or Arusha Airport in the late afternoon, you will be greeted by our warm and friendly guides. You will be transferred to your hotel in Arusha to rest and relax after a long international flight.

After breakfast, we depart from your hotel to Tarangire National Park for a game drive. This park has the greatest concentration of wildlife and huge baobab trees. Tarangire National Park provides you with a great opportunity to witness Africa’s most giant elephant families, wildebeest, zebras, buffalo, impala, gazelles, hartebeest and elands through its endless plains. A lunch box will be provided during the day.

As the sun sets, head to your lodge in Karatu for a hearty dinner and a restful night, ready for the next day’s adventure.

After an early breakfast, set out for the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Africa’s most spectacular safari destinations. This ancient volcanic caldera shelters over 120 species of wildlife, including the iconic Big Five. Keep a keen eye out for the endangered black rhino grazing quietly on the crater floor and for pods of hippos cooling in sparkling pools.

Your open-roof 4x4 offers unmatched photo opportunities of Africa’s legendary predators—lions, leopards, cheetahs, jackals, and hyenas—as well as vast herds of wildebeest, zebras, antelopes, and Cape buffalo roaming the grasslands.

Pause midday for a picnic lunch beside the hippo pool, a classic Ngorongoro experience. After a full day of game viewing, return to Arusha for drop-off at your hotel. If you prefer, you can pre-arrange a transfer to Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) for your evening flight back home or onwards travel.
