2 Days Safari from Zanzibar to Tarangire & Ngorongoro Crater

2-Day Safari from Zanzibar: Tarangire & Ngorongoro Crater

Experience a thrilling 2-day Tanzania Safari from Zanzibar, offering you the chance to explore two of the country’s most iconic wildlife destinations. This package is perfect for those who have limited time but still want to enjoy the rich wildlife and landscapes of Northern Tanzania.

How to Get There:

• Flight to Arusha: To begin your adventure, you’ll need a morning flight from Zanzibar to Arusha (a flight of about 1 hour). Ideally, this flight should be scheduled early to give you ample time to go through Immigration and check-in for your flight.
• Flight Back to Zanzibar: After the safari, you will fly back to Zanzibar from Kilimanjaro Airport (about 1.5 hours from Arusha). Evening flights typically depart after 7 PM, so you’ll have time to enjoy the safari before heading back to Zanzibar.

Transfers between the airport and your hotel in Zanzibar can be arranged at an additional cost.

Where to Visit:

Ngorongoro Crater:

• The Eden of Africa: The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most unique ecosystems on Earth, often referred to as Africa’s Garden of Eden. With the highest concentration of wildlife per square kilometer, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to an incredible variety of species. The crater is about 21 kilometers in radius, and the animals roam freely within this caldera, creating an unmatched wildlife experience.
• Big Five Safari: Ngorongoro is famous for its Big Five (lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, and rhinos). With a bit of luck, you may spot all of them in a single day. The crater floor is a rich habitat for wildlife, with its lush vegetation and water sources attracting a high density of animals.
• A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve: The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is a geopark and a critical part of Tanzania’s environmental protection efforts, making it a significant natural site.

Tarangire National Park:

• A Hidden Gem: While Serengeti and Ngorongoro often steal the spotlight, Tarangire is a must-visit park, particularly for those fascinated by elephants. The park is home to large herds of elephants, often seen roaming the open plains.
• Baobab Trees: The iconic baobab trees dot the landscape, creating a surreal and picturesque scene. These ancient trees are one of the key features of the park, with some growing to impressive sizes.
• Diverse Wildlife: In addition to elephants, Tarangire also hosts giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, and predators like lions and cheetahs. The park’s landscape, with its mix of savannahs, rivers, and swamps, supports a diverse range of wildlife, making it a prime safari destination.

Best for Your Budget:

• Affordable Option: If you’re looking for a more budget-friendly option, consider the 2-day Mikumi Safari from Zanzibar.
• Premium Safari: However, if you’re seeking the ultimate short safari experience, the 2-day Tarangire & Ngorongoro Safari provides a luxurious, memorable adventure in some of the best wildlife parks Tanzania has to offer.
