Tarangire National Park

Non game-viewing travel time: 3.5 hours | Distance: 240 km | Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

After breakfast, you will be picked up in Moshi by your professional safari guide and driver. Enjoy a short safari briefing before heading to Tarangire National Park. This park runs along the Tarangire River and is characterized by low-lying hills on the Great Rift Valley floor.

The park’s natural vegetation includes Acacia woodland and giant African Baobab trees, with large swamp areas in the south. During Tanzania’s dry season, the river and swamps attract abundant wildlife, making it perfect for a wildlife safari.

Look out for the largest elephant herds in Africa, hartebeests, gazelles, and exotic birds like the bateleur and martial eagle. Enjoy two thrilling game drives along the Tarangire River and a picnic lunch in the park. At the end of the day, drive to your hotel for dinner and overnight stay.

Day 2

Non game-viewing travel time: 3.5 hours | Distance: 155 km | Meals: Breakfast, Lunch

After breakfast, descend 600 meters into the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater for a morning half-day game drive. The crater is one of the densest wildlife areas in Africa and home to an estimated 30,000 animals, including some of Tanzania’s last remaining black rhinos.

The crater supports year-round water and fodder, attracting herds of wildebeest, zebras, buffalo, eland, warthogs, hippos, and giant African elephants. Predators include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the elusive leopard.

Enjoy a picnic lunch in the crater before returning to Moshi or Arusha to conclude your 2-day Tanzania wildlife safari.
