Day 1: Arusha – Tarangire National Park
Your Tanzania Safari Trip begins with a morning pick-up from your hotel in Arusha. From here, you’ll journey to Tarangire National Park, Tanzania’s third-largest park and a haven for elephants. The Tarangire River acts as the park’s lifeline, attracting large herds of wildebeest, zebras, buffalo, giraffes, and predators like lions, leopards, and cheetahs.
As you enjoy a full-day game drive with a picnic lunch, admire the park’s majestic baobab trees, which dominate the landscape. Bird enthusiasts will delight in spotting some of the 500 bird species found here. After your adventure-filled day, head to Martina’s Retreat for dinner and overnight stay.

Day 2: Ngorongoro Crater – Return to Arusha
The second day of your Tanzania Safari Trip takes you to one of the most famous wildlife destinations on earth: the Ngorongoro Crater. After an early breakfast, descend 2,000 feet to the crater floor, where a 5-hour game drive offers close encounters with incredible wildlife.
Expect to see African elephants, black rhinos, buffalo, hippos, hyenas, lions, and cheetahs against the stunning backdrop of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. A picnic lunch by the Hippo Pool provides a unique dining experience just steps away from these massive animals.
After lunch, ascend the crater walls and return to Arusha in the evening, marking the end of your unforgettable 2-day safari.
