This safari to Northern Tanzania takes you through Tarangire and Ngorongoro for rewarding wildlife viewing in a short time. See large herds of elephants in Tarangire and observe the natural lives of predators and herbivores in two of the region's most celebrated safari landscapes. Enjoy the quintessential African safari experience while admiring the wildlife and stunning skies of Tarangire and Ngorongoro.

As very few animals migrate in and out of the crater with its 2000 ft. high walls, you can expect to see lions, elephants, zebras, hippos, flamingos, jackals, rhinos, antelopes, many birds, and other species.
