2-day safari (Ngorongoro crater)

2 day tour overview

Our 2-day Ngorongoro Crater African wildlife safaris, tours, travel and other trekking packages were designed to offer visitors, with a safari time constraint, a short but a very intense Tanzanian Northern Circuit wildlife safari experience. You will experience the excitement of an African wildlife safari, or even an African photographic safari in one of the most spectacular national game parks in Tanzania.

This unforgettable tour will take you to the Ngorongoro Crater , featuring one of the highest concentrations of wild animals in Tanzania and Africa. You will witness an unforgettable spectacle of African wildlife - inside a self-contained world teeming with animals. This, the time constraint and the traveling distances, provided the main reasons for specifically choosing the Ngorongoro Crater for our 2-day safaris and tours packages.

This is a suggested or sample Tanzanian safari itinerary - it can be adapted to suite your own personal needs and preferences, to any seasonal changes or to migratory animal movements. As with all our African safaris, tours, travel and other trekking packages, we have offered you a wide variety of accommodation options - directly impacting on the total safari costs - in order to offer you the widest possible tour budget options. Please note that there is no accommodation available inside the Ngorongoro Crater National Park .

Please do not hesitate to contact one of our tours consultants directly, should you require any further assistance or more detailed information, regarding any of our safaris, tours, travel and other trekking packages.

Non game-viewing travel time: 4 hours

Dinner and overnight on the Ngorongoro Crater Rim, as per the standard and type of accommodation option requested.

Day 2 - Ngorongoro crater - Arusha

Non game-viewing travel time: 4 hours
Distance: 190 km

After breakfast we descend 600m into this magnificent crater for a morning, half-day game drive. The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most densely crowded African wildlife areas in the world and is home to an estimated 30,000 animals including some of Tanzania's last remaining black rhino. Supported by a year round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro National Park supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque national park is it's dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot. We will enjoy lunch at the lodge, after which we travel back to Arusha where we will end our African safari adventure. The group should tip the tour guide around $20 a day for all our safaris. You will be taken to your hotel, which ends our safari packages services.
