Short on days but big on adventure? This 2-day safari combines two of Tanzania’s most iconic wildlife destinations into one seamless journey. With Tarry Adventures, you’ll face the towering baobabs and elephant herds of Tarangire before descending into the legendary Ngorongoro Crater, the ultimate natural wildlife arena.
The Game Plan: A Quickfire Challenge
Day 1: The Elephant Kingdom of Tarangire
Your safari kicks off with an early departure to Tarangire National Park, home to some of Africa’s largest elephant herds. Against a backdrop of ancient baobab trees and rolling savannas, you’ll encounter elephants, giraffes, and countless bird species. Lions and leopards often lurk in the grasslands, making every moment a thrill. After a full day of exploration and a picnic lunch in the park, we head to your lodge or campsite near Ngorongoro for dinner and overnight rest.
Day 2: The Big Five Arena — Ngorongoro Crater
We descend into the Ngorongoro Crater at sunrise, 600 meters down into a natural amphitheater packed with wildlife. From black rhinos to prides of lions and vast herds of wildebeest, the crater is your best chance at spotting the “Big Five” in one place. After a rewarding half-day game drive and picnic by the hippo pool, we begin the scenic journey back to Arusha or Kilimanjaro Airport for drop-off.
