For those short on time, this safari is the perfect way to see the best of Tanzania’s wildlife in just
2 days. The Ngorongoro Crater is a “must see” destination, home to over 25,000 animals and
your best chance of seeing the “Big Five”. Enjoy the spectacular scenery of Tarangire, where
families of elephants congregate year round by the Tarangire River
Day 1: Arusha - Tarangire National Park
You will be met by your private guide and vehicle and driven to Tarangire National Park, arriving
with plenty of time for an afternoon game-drive. The Tarangire River runs through the park
attracting a huge number of elephants, buffalo, giraffe and antelope, particularly in the dry
season between June and October. It is not uncommon to see large herds of elephants roaming
through Tarangire's savannah grasses or taking shade under the odd looking "upside down
trees" (baobab) that are dotted around the park. The park also boasts over 550 different bird
species, the most diverse in Africa, including the Kori Bustard, the heaviest flying bird in the
World!
Day 2: Ngorongoro Crater-Arusha
After an early breakfast, you will drive to the fascinating wildlife arena of the Ngorongoro
Conservation Area, a “must see” safari destination. Home to more than 25,000 large mammals,
it is not unusual to see all of the ‘Big Five’ (buffalo, elephant, rhino, lion and leopard) in a single
day. The crater, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is over 260km² (100 miles²) and was formed
when a massive volcano exploded and collapsed on itself 2 - 3 million years ago. It is now the
largest intact volcanic caldera in the world and often referred to as “Africa’s Eden”. Driving
through the Ngorongoro Highlands, you will arrive at the crater rim and then descend down
610m (2000 ft) onto its floor to start your safari extravaganza. Late afternoon you will start your
journey back to your hotel in Arusha or transfer to Kilimanjaro Airport.
