2 Days Safari from Zanzibar to Tarangire and Ngorongoro Overview

Safari-To-Serengeti-National-Park-and-Ngorongoro-Crater-From-Zanzibar

Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park is located in northern Tanzania, Manyara Region approximately 118 kilometers southwest of Arusha.

From Zanzibar, you will take a morning flight to Arusha Airport, followed by a scenic drive to the park, which typically takes about two hours.

Tarangire is renowned for its vast elephant herds, often seen roaming through its diverse landscapes.

The park is named after the Tarangire River, which is a vital water source for wildlife during the dry season.

This creates excellent game viewing opportunities as animals congregate around the riverbanks. Tarangire is also famous for its iconic baobab trees and picturesque savannahs.

The park experiences a tropical climate with distinct wet and dry seasons.

The dry season, from June to October, is the best time to visit as wildlife is more concentrated around water sources, making them easier to spot.

The wet season, from November to May, transforms the park into a lush, green landscape and is ideal for bird watching.

Ngorongoro Conservation Area

The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is situated in northern Tanzania, approximately 180 kilometers west of Arusha.

Following your overnight stay near Tarangire, you will embark on an early morning drive to Ngorongoro, which takes around three to four hours.

Ngorongoro Crater is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Africa’s most iconic natural wonders.

Formed millions of years ago, the crater is the world’s largest inactive volcanic caldera. It is renowned for its exceptional density of wildlife, including the Big Five—lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and black rhino.

The crater’s unique ecosystem supports a diverse range of flora and fauna, making it a prime location for game drives.

Ngorongoro has a temperate climate due to its high altitude, with temperatures being cooler than the surrounding lowlands.

The area experiences two main seasons:

  • Dry Season (June to October): Cooler temperatures and excellent visibility for wildlife viewing.
  • Wet Season (November to May): Warmer temperatures with occasional rains, resulting in lush, green landscapes. Great for bird watching and witnessing the crater in its verdant glory.

GoSmart helped us with multiple transportations and organized several tours for us, customizing the tours to our needs. Said provided amazing organization from the office, was always super responsive and flexible to adjust to our needs. We had to change some tours and adjust the schedule last minute when one of our group fell sick and Said saved our trip helping to reorganize everything. All drivers and guides were very professional. In particular, Ali excelled being extremely polite, sympathetic and ever helpful. Thank you all for making our trip to Zanzibar memorable and a pleasure! Can only highly recommend them if you go to Zanzibar.

We met Said at the Airport and we did all the activities with him (nakupenda, prison Island, dolphins, sea turtles, juizani forest and spice farm). We loved every activity, especially nakupenda in which we were just us on the boat/lunch and not a big group as often happen. He is very punctual and friendly. I would recommend him!!

We were planning a trip but didn't want to get into the hassle of booking everything ourselves. We were recommended to Said from GoSmart Zanzibar Tours and Safari. He made our Zanzibar vacation enjoyable. He took care of most of our traveling needs. He was professional, friendly and approachable from the first day he pick us up from Airport until the last day we came back. He has all travelling expertise and he was able to answer all our questions patiently. I really recommend GoSmart Zanzibar Tours and Safari if traveling to Zanzibar. Their services is the best. We visited a lot of places like Nungwi beach, Prison island, Kuza carve, Stone town and many more.
