The Overview

The ultimate two day safari extension for guests on a tight schedule. Designed to seamlessly complement a Zanzibar beach stay, this package delivers Tarangire's magnificent wildlife and the Ngorongoro Crater's unrivalled game viewing all within 48 hours before returning you to the island.

Why it stands out

Journey Highlights

  • Elephant Encounters in Tarangire
  • Tarangire National Park offers one of the most concentrated elephant populations in Tanzania. During the dry months, herds of several hundred individuals gather along the river, and the sight of these gentle giants moving among the ancient baobabs is unforgettable. Your guide will share insights into their behaviour and the park's ecology.
  • The Ngorongoro Crater Floor
  • Descending into the Ngorongoro Crater is like entering a lost world. The crater floor is a self contained ecosystem teeming with wildlife, including the rare black rhino. A full game drive here reveals the raw power of nature: predators on the hunt, herds on the move, and the ever present backdrop of the crater walls. The sense of isolation and timelessness is profound.
  • Expert Guiding and Comfort
  • Your journey is led by a professional driver guide with deep knowledge of the parks and their inhabitants. They will tailor the experience to your interests, whether you are a seasoned photographer or a first time safari goer. Accommodation in Karatu offers a blend of Kenyan hospitality and modern comfort. Each lodge features spacious rooms, local cuisine, and panoramic views, ensuring a restful night after a day of exploration.
  • Seamless Logistics
  • The entire safari is designed for convenience. Return flights from Zanzibar to Arusha, all transfers, and park entry fees are included. You only need to bring your camera and a sense of wonder. This package proves that a spectacular safari is possible even on a tight schedule.
