3-Day Tarangire-Ndutu-Ngorongoro from Moshi

3-Day Safari through Tarangire, Ndutu, and Ngorongoro Crater. Offering a perfect blend of diverse landscapes, seasonal wildlife wonders, and unforgettable Big Five encounters. This short yet action-packed itinerary is ideal for travelers looking to experience the magic of Tanzania’s northern circuit in just a few days—especially during the Great Migration’s calving season in Ndutu (December to March).

Your journey begins in Arusha with a scenic drive to Tarangire National Park, home to Tanzania’s largest elephant population. Famous for its ancient baobab trees and the life-giving Tarangire River, the park provides fantastic game viewing, particularly during the dry season when animals gather in large numbers. Lions, zebras, giraffes, and hundreds of bird species also thrive in this vibrant ecosystem.

Next, travel to the seasonal plains of Ndutu, located between southern Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. During the migration’s calving season, Ndutu becomes a predator’s paradise, with thousands of wildebeest giving birth and predators like lions, cheetahs, and hyenas prowling the grasslands. Unique off-road driving allows for exceptional photography and close wildlife encounters.

Your final stop is the iconic Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the best places in Africa to spot the Big Five in a single day. Descend into the crater for a full-day game drive in this natural wildlife haven, surrounded by breathtaking scenery and teeming with elephants, rhinos, lions, and flamingos.
