Go on a 2 days safari at Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. A stunning two days of wildlife wonders starts in Arusha and takes in the ‘classic’ destinations at Tanzania’s Northern Safari Circuit. Lion and cheetah, black rhino, elephants and buffalo, as well as fascinating birdlife, all in incredible environments, provide the highlights with your own private vehicle to enjoy your wonderful experiences from the beginning till the end of your trip.
Highlights at Tarangire Nationalpark
Highlights of the Ngorongoro Crater
Today we set out early, collecting you from your hotel in Moshi or Arusha and heading south to stunning Tarangire National Park. We arrive at picnic for lunch by noon, in time for a pleasant lunch. Your game-drive will reveal all the wonders of Tarangire, a National Park often referred to as the ‘Elephant Playground’. Herds of up to 300 of these mighty mammals are sometimes seen in the park.
Serengeti may be better known, but Tarangire in the dry season easily rivals it for animal densities. As well as the herds of elephant, Tarangire is home to buffalo, lion, wildebeest, zebra and gazelle while gerenuk and fringe-eared oryx are ‘local specialties’. Lake Burungi’s marshy shores are the lure for these mammals and the waters attract many beautiful bird species, too. Look out for giant kingfishers, hoopoes and the delightfully-named white-bellied go-away bird. Tarangire is noted for its splendid baobab trees, rolling savannah and acacia woodland. At the end of an inspiring afternoon amongst the wildlife, we retire to the campsite for an evening meal and some rest.

Today may be departure day, but there will be plenty of time to enjoy another true spectacle, before your thoughts turn to home. Ngorongoro Crater is often referred to as a wonder of the world and your early morning game drive shows you why.
First, there’s the volcanic caldera (the world’s largest), full of grassland, forest and swamp, a setting of jaw-dropping beauty. Secondly, the permanent water of the crater floor supports a resident population of more than 25,000 large mammals. Here you’ll find many of the reasons you chose to come on safari: elephant, lion, leopard, hyena, jackal, wallowing hippo, waterbuck, baboons… even the rare black rhino finds shelter here.
Sharing this awesome space with the animals are the Maasai, grazing their cattle in an area which has been a separate conservation area since 1956 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1978. This harmonious co-habitation of man and beast makes Ngorongoro unique in Tanzania and your driver guide will be pleased to explain this incredible co-existence to you.
After your early morning game drive, we have our picnic lunch in the crater before we return to Moshi for overnight. You will drive for 5 hours from Ngorongoro Crater floor to Moshi / Arusha
