Four Days of Tarangire Elephants and Ngorongoro Wildlife

Enjoy a private four-day luxury safari from Arusha featuring Tarangire National Park, the Ngorongoro highlands and a memorable crater game drive.

Explore two of Tanzania's best-known wildlife areas on a relaxed private safari. Begin among Tarangire's baobab trees and elephant-rich riverbanks, then continue through the highlands for a game drive in the Ngorongoro Crater.

A professional local guide and private 4x4 vehicle provide flexibility for wildlife viewing, photography and scenic stops. The route and timing are planned around park conditions and your travel dates.

Three nights in selected luxury lodges or tented camps are included. This itinerary is suited to travelers looking for an intimate Northern Circuit experience without adding the longer drive to the Serengeti.
