ITINERARY

Day 01: Arrival in Arusha – Transfer to Ngorongoro

Upon your arrival at Arusha Airport or pickup from your hotel, you’ll be welcomed by your friendly driver-guide who will brief you on the journey ahead. Depart Arusha in the late morning or early afternoon and travel through picturesque countryside and Maasai villages as you make your way to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The scenic drive takes approximately 3.5 to 4 hours and offers breathtaking views of the Rift Valley escarpment and highland forests.

Arrive at your lodge or camp near the crater rim by late afternoon. Settle in and enjoy the fresh air and sweeping views of the Ngorongoro highlands. If time allows, you may go on a short nature walk around the lodge (optional) or relax with a warm drink as the sun sets behind the hills.

Day 02: Early Game Drive in Tarangire – Transfer to Arusha & Departure

Rise early for breakfast and check out, then head toward Tarangire National Park, located about 2.5 hours away. As you enter the park gates in the early morning light, you’ll begin an exciting game drive through one of Tanzania’s most diverse ecosystems. Tarangire is famed for its towering baobab trees, lush seasonal swamps, and the life-giving Tarangire River that draws wildlife year-round.

During your game drive, you’ll likely encounter large herds of elephants, prides of lions, graceful giraffes, troops of baboons, and many species of antelope. The birdlife here is also exceptional, with over 500 species recorded. Your guide will help you track wildlife, share fascinating insights, and ensure you make the most of your short time in the park.

After a picnic lunch in a shaded area, continue your safari until early afternoon, when you’ll begin your return journey to Arusha. Upon arrival, you’ll be dropped off at your hotel or transferred to the airport for your onward flight, bringing your unforgettable 2-day adventure to a close.
