Tarangire & Ngorongoro
3-Day Safari · Elephants, baobabs and the Ngorongoro Crater
A short escape that begins with safari from the moment you land, combining the great elephants of Tarangire with the extraordinary wildlife concentration of Ngorongoro.
The journey starts straight from the airport toward Tarangire, where a first afternoon safari lets you enter the landscape among ancient baobabs, seasonal wetlands and large elephant herds. A sundowner in the bush ends the first day before continuing to the highlands.
The following morning begins with an early safari in Tarangire before ascending to Ngorongoro. The journey culminates with a descent into the crater to explore its extraordinary wildlife concentration and, with luck, find black rhinos before returning to Arusha and the airport.
