Day 01

Safari to Tarangire National Park

Early in the morning after breakfast, you will start your 2-day safari to Tarangire and Ngorongoro. You will be picked up from the hotel and then drive to Tarangire National Park. This park is Tanzania's third-largest national park, and it is characterized by the amazingly large herds of elephants that can be encountered here.

The park is also famous for its big baobab trees, which are one of the other highlights of Tarangire National Park, and the Tarangire River that flows all year round is the lifeblood of the park. Many animals, both predators and prey alike, gather around the river, where you can enjoy excellent game viewing.

Day 02

Safari to Ngorongoro Crater

This day, you will start early in the morning at 06:00 for a game drive, with a picnic lunch, inside the Ngorongoro Crater. Very few animals migrate in and out of the crater because of its 2,000-foot-high walls, but you will still be able to see different predators and wildlife such as lions, elephants, zebras, hippos, flamingos, jackals, rhinos, antelopes, many birds, and other species.

You will be accompanied by an experienced safari driver-guide who will be able to show you the best of the wildlife and give you enough information about the national park and the wilderness found here. After a great exploration of the crater, you will drive back to Arusha for an overnight stay at a hotel on a bed and breakfast basis, booked and included. End of your trip.
