Tarangire National Park or Ngorongoro Crater

---

Our 2-day Tarangire & Ngorongoro Crater safari packages were designed to offer visitors, with a time constraint, a short but a very intense Tanzanian Northern Circuit wildlife safari experience. You will experience the excitement of an African wildlife safari, or even a photographic safari in two of the most spectacular national game parks in Tanzania.

This unforgettable African safari tour will take you to the Ngorongoro Crater, featuring one of the highest concentrations of game in Africa. Here you will witness an amazing spectacle of African wildlife - inside a self-contained world, teeming with animals. Your tour will also take you to the Tarangire National Park, one of Tanzania's most dramatically located wildlife areas, consisting of huge no of elephants and baobab trees. The size of both the selected Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater national parks, make them a perfect choice for our shorter safaris, or a photographic safari.

This is a suggested or sample Tanzanian safari itinerary - it can be adapted to suite your own personal needs and preferences, to any seasonal changes or to migratory animal movements. As with all our African safaris, we have offered you a wide variety of accommodation options - directly impacting on the total safari costs - in order to offer you the widest possible tour budget options. Please note that there is no accommodation available inside the Ngorongoro Crater.

Please do not hesitate to contact one of our tours consultants directly, should you require any further assistance or more detailed information, regarding any of our safaris, tours, travel and other trekking packages.

Distance: 130 km

After breakfast do we head into the Tarangire National Park for a morning game drive The Park runs along the line of the Tarangire River and is mainly made up of low-lying hills on the Great Rift Valley floor? Its natural vegetation mainly consists of Acacia woodland and giant African Baobab trees, with huge swamp areas in the south. Both the river and the swamps act like a magnet for wild animals, during Tanzania's dry season. The Tarangire National Park is reputed to contain some of the largest elephant herds in Africa. This African national park is also home to three rare species of animals - the Greater Kudu, the Fringed-eared Oryx, as well as a few Ashy Starlings. After lunch evening game drive we head back to the lodge

Day 2 – Tarangire National Park - Ngorongoro Crater - Arusha

Non game-viewing travel time: 1:30 hours
Distance: 60km & 200 km

After breakfast we descend 600m into this magnificent crater for a morning, half-day game drive. The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most densely crowded African wildlife areas in the world and is home to an estimated 30,000 animals including some of Tanzania's last remaining black rhino. Supported by a year round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro National Park supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque national park is the dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot.
