This 2 days wildlife safari in Tanzania offers a focused and rewarding introduction to the country’s most iconic safari destinations. In a short, well planned adventure, you’ll visit two of the country’s most rewarding wildlife areas i.e. Tarangire National Park; known for its vast elephant populations, ancient baobab trees, and varied ecosystems and the Ngorongoro Crater; a UNESCO heritage site with prime Big Five sightings alongside Maasai communities in the conservation area.
This comfort level safari is ideal for visitors with limited time who still want meaningful wildlife encounters. Carefully paced and professionally led, each game drive is focused, unrushed, and shaped by deep local knowledge, giving you a genuine safari experience in just two days.
Upon landing at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), your professional driver-guide will greet you and transfer you to your Arusha hotel, a scenic drive of roughly 1–1.5 hours. This marks the start of your Tanzania short safari adventure, giving you a chance to unwind and acclimate after your flight.
Depending on your arrival time, you can either relax at the hotel or explore the vibrant town of Arusha. Stroll through local markets, enjoy a coffee at a cozy café, or simply take in the views of Mount Meru and the surrounding savannah. For early arrivals, optional pre-safari activities such as a short cultural visit or walking tour can be arranged to make the most of your day.
Our team will also provide insider tips on where to eat, shop, and explore safely, ensuring your first moments in Tanzania are both comfortable and memorable.
This gentle start ensures you’re fully rested and ready for the wildlife adventures that await in Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and beyond.
Our guide/driver will pick up from your hotel in Arusha around 8:30 a.m and depart for Tarangire National Park. Tarangire National Park is one of the greatest in Northern Tanzania. It goes along the Tarangire River and has low-lying hills that appear on the bottom of the Great Rift Valley.
Because it is the sole permanent water source in the park, the Tarangire River and its surrounding marshes attract a huge number of exotic animals. Tarangire Park Safaris are famed for its massive elephant population sightings, which can be found nowhere else in Africa. You may also expect to see giraffe, buffalo, zebra, impala, wildebeest, warthog, baboons and a variety of primates.
You will be able to take in the scenery and observe wildlife from the open roof of the car. You will also enjoy a picnic lunch in the park, which will include a tasty food, coffee, and soft drinks. After a full day in the park, you will drive to your accommodation situated close by Ngorongoro Crater gates) for dinner and an overnight stay where you will be able to relax, enjoy dinner and spend the night.
After an early breakfast, you’ll collect your packed lunch boxes and set out for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, one of Tanzania’s most iconic wildlife destinations. The journey to the crater offers beautiful scenic views of rolling hills, traditional Maasai villages, and the edge of the Ngorongoro Highlands.
Upon arrival, you’ll descend into the crater for a full-day game drive in this natural wonder. Often called the “Garden of Eden of Africa,” the crater is home to the Big Five; elephants, lions, leopards, buffaloes, and black rhinos as well as large herds of zebras, wildebeest, hippos, and hyenas. Bird enthusiasts will delight in spotting flamingoes, storks, geese, and vultures soaring above the crater walls.
Around midday, enjoy a picnic lunch at Ngoitoktok Swamp, a scenic hippo pool where wildlife often gathers for a refreshing break. The serene environment offers fantastic photography opportunities amidst lush scenery. After your unforgettable game drive, you’ll ascend from the crater and transfer back to Arusha (see our fun things to do in Arusha guide) or Moshi, depending on your schedule. From here, you can continue your journey to your flight home, a connecting safari, or a relaxing stay in northern Tanzania.
This thrilling safari in Ngorongoro Crater combines breathtaking landscapes, exceptional wildlife encounters, and cultural scenery, leaving you with memories of Tanzania’s unparalleled safari experiences.
