Itinerary

Short on time but eager to spot Africa’s iconic wildlife? The 2 Days Tarangire and Ngorongoro Wildlife Safari is crafted precisely for travelers who want maximum adventure in a brief window. Over two action-packed days, this tour package delivers incredible opportunities to witness a vast array of animals, including the sought-after Big Five: lion, elephant, leopard, rhino, and buffalo.

Your journey begins in Tarangire National Park, famous for its thriving populations of wildebeest, zebras, Thompson's gazelles, elands, hartebeests, and formidable herds of buffalo and lions. The park’s rolling landscapes and ancient baobabs provide a stunning backdrop for unforgettable game drives. On day two, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO-listed marvel teeming with wildlife. Here, you could encounter rare black rhinos, elephants, hippos, gazelles, and a variety of predators, including cheetahs, hyenas, and leopards.

Ideal for adventurous travelers with limited time or budget, this safari ensures you don’t miss East Africa’s most spectacular creatures. The major highlight—and unique selling point—of this trip is the exceptional chance to see all members of the Big Five in such a short span, making it a perfect weekend escape packed with wildlife wonders.

After breakfast, leave at 08:30 to Tarangire National Park for game viewing with your packed lunch, break for a picnic lunch, after lunches proceed with game viewing. Dinner and overnight at Twiga Lodge/Similar.

One of the most noticeable things on entering the park are the baobab trees that rise up form the grass. With their massive trunks, they are instantly recognizable. There are animals that usually move northwards of the park during the wet season including the wildebeests, zebras, Thompson's gazelles, buffaloes, elands and Hartebeests. The elephant population in this park was estimated to be around 6,000 in 1987, but numbers are believed to have fallen since then due to poaching.

The number of birds recorded in Tarangire National Park has been estimated at approximately 300. These include migrants that fly south to spend October - April away from the winter of the northern hemisphere. Here, you may spot various species of herons, storks and ducks, vultures, buzzards, sparrow hawks, eagles, kites and falcons, as well as ostriches. Other areas of interest within the park include the Lake Burungi circuit, the Lemiyon area, the Kitibong Hill circuit and the Gursi & Lamarkau circuit.
