Safari Overview

For those pressed for time, this two day/one night safari packs in two of Tanzania’s most beloved national parks. You’ll have the chance to see the Big Five and plenty more as you travel to these two wonderful parks.
Tarangire National Park, home to Tanzania’s largest elephant population and Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where cape buffalo, rhinoceros, and hippopotamus can be spotted amid the caldera’s verdant plains.

Safari Itinerary

You will be met by your private guide and vehicle and driven to Tarangire National Park, arriving with plenty of time for an afternoon game drive. The Tarangire River runs through the park attracting a huge number of elephants, buffalo, giraffes, and antelopes. It is not uncommon to see large herds of elephants roaming through Tarangire’s savannah grasses or taking shade under the odd-looking “upside down trees” (baobab) that are dotted around the park.
The park also boasts over 550 different bird species, the most diverse in Africa, including the Kori Bustard, the heaviest flying bird in the World!

After an early breakfast, you will drive to the fascinating wildlife arena of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a “must-see” safari destination. Home to more than 25,000 large mammals – it is not unusual to see all of the ‘Big Five’ (buffalo, elephant, rhino, lion, and leopard) in a single day. The crater, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is over 260km2 (100 miles2) and was formed when a massive volcano exploded and collapsed on itself 2 – 3 million years ago. It is now the largest intact volcanic caldera in the world and is often referred to as “Africa’s Eden”.
Driving through the Ngorongoro Highlands, you will arrive at the crater rim and then descend down 610m (2,000 feet) onto its’ floor to start your safari extravaganza. Late afternoon you will start your journey back to your hotel in Arusha or Kilimanjaro Airport.
