2-Day Wildlife Safari from Zanzibar to Tarangire & Ngorongoro Crater.
Fly in from Zanzibar for a quick but unforgettable 2-day safari into Tanzania’s Northern Circuit. You’ll combine the thrill of Tarangire’s wildlife-rich landscapes with the stunning Ngorongoro Crater—all in just two days. Expect comfortable mid-range lodging, expert guiding, and game drives packed with sightings of big animals, ancient baobabs, and dramatic vistas. Ideal for people who want maximum wildlife in minimal time, without sacrificing comfort.
🐾 Destinations & Activities / Highlights:
Your adventure begins with a morning flight from Zanzibar to Arusha, followed by a scenic drive to Tarangire National Park. This park is renowned for its massive elephant herds, ancient baobab trees, and diverse landscapes that support an impressive variety of wildlife. You’ll spend the day on a game drive through the park’s savannahs, swamps, and woodlands, spotting elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, and a wealth of birdlife before heading to the highlands in the evening.
On the second day, the journey continues to the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater, one of Africa’s natural wonders and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You’ll descend into the caldera for a game drive on the crater floor, where the chance to spot the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino—is unmatched. The crater also shelters flamingos, hippos, and countless other species against a dramatic backdrop of towering crater walls. After a full day of exploration, you’ll return to Arusha for your evening flight back to Zanzibar.
🏨 Accommodations:
You will spend the overnight stay at Marera Valley Lodge, a mid-range lodge offering comfortable rooms, good meals, and highland views that make for a relaxing contrast to the wildlife intensity. There is no accommodation on Night 2, since you finish the safari and return to Zanzibar.
