2-Day Tanzania Safari from Zanzibar – Tarangire & Ngorongoro

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.
