2 Days Tarangire and Ngorongoro Safari

At 06:00 am, you will be picked up from your hotel in Moshi or Arusha and driven on a tarmac road to Tarangire National Park with a packed lunch for a full-day game drive.

Tarangire is one of the finest national parks in northern Tanzania, named after the Tarangire River, which runs through it. The park’s landscape is characterized by rolling hills, acacia woodlands, majestic baobab trees, and seasonal swamps. The Tarangire River, being the only permanent water source in the park, attracts a large concentration of wildlife, especially during the dry season.

Tarangire is renowned for its huge elephant population, one of the largest in Africa. Other animals commonly spotted include giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, impalas, wildebeests, warthogs, baboons, and various monkeys. Rare species such as the greater kudu, fringed-eared oryx, and ashy starling are also found here. Predators like lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, and jackals roam the park, while vultures and other birds of prey circle above. In the evening, drive to Karatu for dinner and overnight at Kudu Lodge.

Kudu Lodge and Campsite, located in the heart of northern Tanzania’s safari circuit, offers warm hospitality, comfortable accommodation, and peaceful surroundings. Nestled in eleven acres of rolling countryside with mature trees and gardens alive with bird life, it provides a tranquil hideaway and the perfect base for your safari adventure. The lodge embodies spaciousness, friendliness, and true African hospitality.

After breakfast, drive up to the Ngorongoro Highlands. Stop briefly at the Crater Viewpoint for breathtaking views before descending the 600-meter-high walls into the Ngorongoro Crater for a full-day game drive with picnic lunch. Often referred to as the Eden of Africa, the Ngorongoro Crater offers spectacular scenery and one of the densest concentrations of wildlife in the world.

The crater floor is home to around 30,000 animals, including wildebeests, zebras, hippos, elephants, gazelles, elands, warthogs, and the rare black rhino. Predators thrive here as well, with large populations of lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the elusive leopard.

You will also visit Lake Magadi, a shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern part of the crater, which attracts flamingos, hippos, and a wide variety of aquatic birds. In the afternoon, ascend from the crater and drive back to Arusha or Moshi, arriving in the evening.
