Arusha – Tarangire National Park

Your driver / guide will pick you up at your hotel in Arusha in the morning and drive to the entrance of Tarangire National Park

Upon arrival, you'll begin your mid-morning game drive through the vast savannahs and ancient baobab-dotted landscapes of Tarangire. This park is famous for its huge herds of elephants, as well as a rich variety of wildlife including giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, lions, leopards, and over 500 bird species.

At midday, you’ll stop at a picnic site inside the park for lunch while enjoying views of the surrounding wilderness.

After lunch, continue with an afternoon game drive, exploring different areas of the park and following the Tarangire River, which draws many animals—especially during the dry season.

In the late afternoon, you'll exit the park and drive to your lodge or campsite near Lake Manyara or Karatu, where you’ll relax, enjoy dinner, and prepare for the next day’s journey to Ngorongoro.

Ngorongoro Crater – Arusha

After an early breakfast at your lodge, depart around 6:30 AM for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area—a short and scenic drive through the highlands of Karatu. Upon arrival at the Ngorongoro gate, your guide will complete entry formalities before you ascend to the Crater Rim for a breathtaking view of the vast caldera below.

You’ll then begin your descent into the Ngorongoro Crater, one of the most remarkable wildlife destinations in the world. Known as "Africa’s Eden," the crater is home to an incredible density of animals, including the Big Five: lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and buffalo. You’ll also encounter wildebeest, zebras, hippos, hyenas, and a vibrant variety of birdlife, including flamingos and birds of prey.

At around 3:00 PM, begin your ascent from the crater and start your drive back to Arusha. You’ll arrive in the early evening, where your guide will drop you off at your hotel or airport, marking the end of a truly unforgettable 2-day safari.
