Overview
This 3-day camping safari is a genuinely convenient add-on after a Kilimanjaro climb, for travelers with just a few days to spare before an international flight home — covering Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater in a short, well-paced trip.
Tarangire is known for its elephant herds and ancient baobab trees, particularly along the Tarangire River during drier months, while the Ngorongoro Crater offers some of the most concentrated wildlife viewing anywhere in Tanzania within a single, contained caldera.

Day by Day (3 days)
: Arusha to Tarangire National Park
Early Morning breakfast then depart for a 2 hours journey to Tarangire National Park to begin your safari with your expert guide.
Tarangire National Park is probably one of the least visited of the northern Tanzanian game parks, and retains a real air of undiscovered Africa, particularly in the south of the park. Just two hours drive away from Arusha. It lies a little distance to the southeast of Lake Manyara and covers an area of approximately 2,850 square kilometers. It is named after the Tarangire River that flows through the park. The swamps, tinged green year-round, are the focus for 550 bird varieties, the largest number of species in one habitat anywhere in the world; on drier ground, the Kori bustard – the heaviest flying bird – can be found.
In the late afternoon and proceed to your camp for dinner and overnight stay.
: Tarangire to Ngorongoro Crater Rim
Enjoy another day of your safari with game drives in this unique national park where mighty baobab – the tree of life – tower majestically over the savannah can be seen.
Leave the park in the afternoon and drive straight to Ngorongoro Crater rim for dinner and overnight
