3-Day Tarangire & Ngorongoro Crater Private Safari

This 3-day private safari packs two of Tanzania's best-known Northern Circuit destinations into a short trip. We start with a drive to Tarangire National Park, home to some of Africa's densest elephant herds and giant, ancient baobab trees along the Tarangire River. On day two we descend 600 meters onto the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater, the world's largest intact volcanic caldera, for a full-day game drive. More than 25,000 large mammals live here, including lions, hyenas and the rare black rhino. We picnic by the hippo pool near Ngoitoktok Springs and visit Lake Magadi for flamingos and waterbirds. Day three is a relaxed morning with a short cultural village walk or a stop at the Lake Manyara viewpoint over the Great Rift Valley wall, before the drive back to Arusha or Moshi. You travel in a private 4x4 Land Cruiser with a pop-up roof, with an English-speaking driver-guide, park fees, meals and lodge or camp accommodation all handled.
