Explore short 2-Day Fly-in Joining Zanzibar to Tarangire & Ngorongoro

Your journey starts early with a pick-up from your hotel in Zanzibar, depending on the distance for your transfer to the airport. Take a morning flight to Arusha, where you’ll meet your driver-guide and join your group for a briefing before heading to Tarangire National Park. The park is famous for its ancient baobab trees, vast elephant herds, and diverse wildlife drawn to the Tarangire River. You'll enjoy a full-day game drive spotting lions, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, and colourful birdlife across the golden savannahs. Around midday, you'll enjoy a picnic lunch at a scenic viewpoint before continuing your afternoon exploration. Later, you'll drive to a public campsite in the Karatu or Mto wa Mbu area, where your tents will be set up. Dinner will be prepared by your camp cook, and you’ll spend the night under a blanket of stars.

After an early breakfast, you'll depart for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and descend into the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its incredible density of wildlife. The crater floor offers one of the best opportunities in Africa to spot the Big Five, including the rare black rhino, as well as hippos, wildebeests, buffaloes, and flamingos. You'll enjoy a morning game drive followed by a picnic lunch beside the hippo pool. In the afternoon, you'll ascend from the crater and drive back to Arusha for your afternoon flight to Zanzibar. Upon arrival, you’ll be transferred to your hotel, marking the end of a short but unforgettable camping safari filled with adventure, wildlife, and new friendships.
