Meet a driver guide at Kilimanjaro Airport or Arusha Airport and drive directly to Tarangire National Park (approximately 2 hours). Tarangire is best known for its elephant families, savannah, iconic baobab trees, seasonal swamps, and the life-giving Tarangire River. Animals gather at the river, and giraffes, bushbuck, and hartebeest are often seen. The park is also home to buffalo, zebra, and wildebeest. These animals are closely followed by a range of predators such as lions and leopards. From the open roof of the vehicle, you will be able to absorb the landscape and watch the wildlife. Accommodation: Octagon Lodge.
Early breakfast, then drive to Ngorongoro Crater. Once you have reached the crater rim, you will drive down a steep track into the 600 m deep caldera to see a range of animals and birds. The caldera (collapsed volcano) is home to over 25,000 mammals ranging from the 'Big Five' (lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, leopard) and more than 500 species of birds. After an extensive game drive and a picnic lunch in the crater, we drive back to Arusha, then to the airport. Accommodation: NIL.

The 2 Day Safari in Tanzania is a short safari to visit Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. Herds of up to 300 elephants scratch the dry riverbed for underground streams, while migratory wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, impala, gazelle, hartebeest, and eland crowd the shrinking lagoons. It’s the greatest concentration of wildlife outside the Serengeti ecosystem, a smorgasbord for predators and the one place in Tanzania where dry-country antelope such as the stately fringe-eared oryx and peculiar long-necked gerenuk are regularly observed.
