2 Days Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater

Two of the most famous national parks of Tanzania in two days.

Itinerary

Day 1: Moshi – Tarangire National Park

After breakfast together with your guide, drive to Tarangire National Park. In 1970, the national park emerged from a former colonial hunting ground. He has a very diverse animal world, not least because of its size, which corresponds to approximately Luxembourg. The park is home to one of the largest elephant populations in the north of Tanzania, but is also home to many other wild animals. With some luck you can spot lions, cheetahs or leopards. The landscape of the park is very diverse. Especially the huge baobab trees, which are located close together in the north-eastern sector of the park, are particularly impressive. After an extensive game drive, you drive to overnight at Eileen’s Tree Inn Hotel Karatu . Lunch and Dinner

Day 2: Eileen’s Tree Inn Hotel – Ngorongoro Crater – Moshi

After an early breakfast our drive to the Ngorongoro crater starts. The drive will take you up the steep slopes of the East African Rift Valley into the highlands of the Ngorongoro Crater. Afterwards it goes on partly adventurous roads about 600 meters downward into the crater. The crater has diameter of 17-21 kilometers and is the home of a great animal world. Nearly all the biodiversity of the East African savannah has gathered here, only giraffes and a few other animal species for which the rock faces are too steep do not live in the crater. Depending on the season, 15,000 to 25,000 animals are gathering here, thereof more than two thirds buffaloes, gnus, zebras and gazelles. This large number of grazers also explains why in the crater the largest density of predators in Africa can be found. Beside other predators more than 100 lions live here in several prides. The chances of watching the “Big Five” lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and leopard within just a few hours after an extensive gave drive you will drive back to Moshi or Arusha with the good memories of the tour .
