Trip Itinerary

Day 1: Tarangire National Park – The Elephant Paradise

Your voyage into the heart of the African wilderness begins with a morning pick-up from your Moshi accommodation, then on to Tarangire National Park, one of Tanzania's most iconic safari sites. This breathtaking park is famous for its huge vistas, towering baobab trees, and the highest number of elephants in the country. As you reach the park, you will be greeted by herds of elephants, some numbering in the hundreds, quietly wandering the golden savannah. These gentle giants are frequently spotted digging into dry riverbeds in quest of subsurface water, displaying remarkable intelligence and flexibility. Tarangire is home to a rich range of species, including zebras, wildebeests, and beautiful giraffes, all of which help to maintain the vibrant ecology.

The afternoon is spent on an exhilarating game drive, which allows you to discover the park's diverse wildlife. Tarangire, with its vast plains and limited vegetation, offers some of Tanzania's best prospects for animal viewing. Lions and cheetahs are common predators that can be seen hiding in the grasslands, waiting for the right moment to strike. Meanwhile, birdwatchers will be enthralled by the park's 500+ bird species, which include brilliant yellow-collared lovebirds and majestic bateleur eagles flying overhead. As the sun begins to set, painting the sky with brilliant hues, you will return to Eco Farm for a relaxing evening, enjoying a delicious meal and reflecting on the day's activities.

Day 2: Ngorongoro Crater – Exploring a Natural Wonder

Day two of your Tanzania safari begins with an early morning departure for Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Africa's Seven Natural Wonders. Descending 600 meters into the world's largest unbroken volcanic caldera, you will be welcomed with an incredible concentration of species. The crater's contained ecology provides an ideal habitat for a wide variety of animal species, making it one of the greatest places in Africa to see the Big Five—lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes, and the endangered black rhino. The morning hours are good for wildlife viewing since predators are still active and herbivores emerge to feed in the chilly air.

As you walk across the crater floor, you'll see beautiful scenery, from grassy plains dotted with acacia trees to glittering soda lakes teeming with pink flamingos. Hippos lounge in the pools, while hyenas stalk the land in quest of an easy meal. The lush Lerai Forest, home to vast elephant herds, stands in dramatic contrast to the crater's wide grasslands, providing yet another breathtaking background for your safari journey. With each turn of the road, Ngorongoro offers a new breathtaking scene, cementing its reputation as one of the world's most stunning wildlife refuges.

As your memorable safari in Tanzania comes to a close, you will have a final picnic lunch amidst the stunning surroundings before ascending the crater walls. From here, you will return to Kilimanjaro International Airport to catch your departing flight. As you reflect on your fantastic journey through Tarangire and Ngorongoro, the memories of breathtaking scenery and unforgettable wildlife encounters will stay with you for a lifetime. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler, this two-day safari tour highlights the finest of Tanzania's natural splendor and provides an unforgettable African adventure.
