A Tanzanian company, sharing the real Tanzania

This 2-day Tanzania camping safari is a compact route for travellers who want a real safari experience without a long itinerary. It pairs Tarangire National Park with Ngorongoro Crater, giving you two strong wildlife areas in a short, practical journey from Arusha.

Tarangire brings the classic dry-country landscape of northern Tanzania, with baobab trees, open woodland, the Tarangire River, and large elephant herds often moving through the park. Ngorongoro Crater then gives the route a completely different feeling: a volcanic caldera with grasslands, wetlands, Lake Magadi, and a dense concentration of wildlife on the crater floor.
