2-Day Tanzania Safari from Zanzibar – Tarangire & Ngorongoro

Safari 2 days Private
Overview

A short flight from Zanzibar takes you to Tarangire's elephants and baobabs, then down into the Ngorongoro Crater for a morning with the Big Five. Ideal when you are on the beach and want a real safari.

Already on the beach, or only free for a weekend? This is the safari we suggest: one short flight, Tarangire's elephants and a morning in the Ngorongoro Crater — and you are back in time for the sunset.

The Goggi Africa Safari team

Combine your beach holiday with a short but unforgettable wildlife adventure. The safari starts with a domestic flight from Zanzibar to Arusha and visits two of Tanzania’s most rewarding places: Tarangire National Park, known for its giant baobab trees and big elephant herds, and the Ngorongoro Crater, a huge volcanic caldera full of wildlife.

June to October (the dry season) is the best time for wildlife; January and February bring green scenery. Your safari runs in a private 4×4 with a pop-up roof and an English-speaking guide.

Day-by-day itinerary

  1. Day 1Zanzibar or Arusha to Tarangire National Park

  2. Day 2Ngorongoro Crater and return

    After an early breakfast, descend about 600 metres into the Ngorongoro Crater, the world's largest intact volcanic caldera. Spend the morning watching lions, buffalo, elephants, hippos and — with luck — the rare black rhino. Your safari ends after the game drive with your transfer back.

I had a great experience with Goggi Africa Safari. Everything was well organized from start to finish. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and the safari itself was amazing.

We had an incredible day safari in Tarangire National Park with Goggi Africa Safari! The entire experience was smooth, well-organized, and truly unforgettable. A special thank you to our driver, Kevin Ford — he was professional, friendly…
