This two-day tour to the Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania
DESTINATIONS VISITED
Tarangire National Park | Ngorongoro Crater
This safari package will give you an exciting opportunity to visit the most beautiful parks in Northern Tanzania. This includes visiting the endless plains of Serengeti National Park. It is renowned for its grassland plains in the southeast. The northern part is more hilly and rocky. To the west, valleys, rivers and forest can be found. The land is stunning and feels like untamed wilderness. All the major safari animals occur in great numbers. You will also visit the Ngorongoro Crater which is locally known as the garden of animals where there is a big chance to spot the big five in one day.


Pick up at 6:30 AM from your hotel in Arusha and proceed towards Serengeti National Park, via the beautiful high lying farmland of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Leaving the highlands behind, we descend into the heart of wild Africa - the Serengeti National Park with its endless plains, rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see. We head to the central park area, known as the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park, featuring the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti's species. We arrive in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in the Serengeti National Park.
Enjoy early breakfast and meet your guide to have a last morning game drive in Serengeti National Park, later depart to Ngorongoro Conservation area with en-route game drive and picnic lunch. Ngorongoro is a special conservation area and not a National Park. The whole area is managed for both animals and local Maasai people who graze their cattle alongside the indigenous wildlife.
After breakfast, descend into the crater, enjoy 5 hours game drive in the crater. The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most densely crowded African wildlife areas in the world and is home to an estimated 30,000 animals including some of Tanzania's last remaining black rhino.
Supported by a year round water supply and fodder, the crater supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque national park is its huge population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the ever-elusive leopard. We will enjoy a picnic lunch on the crater floor.
Late afternoon drive back to Arusha and drop off at your hotel.

Patrick (guide) and Gabriël (assistant guide) guided us safely, always motivating us when things became tough.You could really feel that the entire team of guides, cook and porters were on a mission for us to reach our goal in the best way possible.Setting up camp ahead of us and always greeting us with a smile.We will carry both the mountain and this dream team forever in our hearts.We also enjoyed the 5-day safari a lot.Praygod is an excellent guide and driver. We were able to spot the big 5 and experience some unforgettable moments:A pride of more then 20 lions walking past our 4x4 Land Cruiser, momma cheetah enjoying a gazelle meal with 4 cubs, momma leopard taking along her cub with prey in her mouth while climbing in a tree, big groups of elephants crossing the road, spotting a Rhino and her cub,…The overnight stays were also enjoyable and comfortable. Even in the tented lodges in the middle of the Serengeti and at the edge of the Ngorongoro crater we had all the comfort and delicious food we needed.Thank you Patrick and team!Thank you Praygod!Thank you Tanzania Joy Tours!Posted on Guillaume NVerified We recommend tanzania joys tour We had a great trek with tanzania joys tour.Our guides Emmanuel (who speaks very good French and this is a big plus) and Francis (who knows everyone and the environment) were at the top, listening, very friendly...We managed the ascent and it is partly thanks to them 2, the 8 porters and the cook Jacob who regaled us morning noon and evening (we would not starve far from therePosted on Franck SVerified Ascent of Kilimanjaro - A sporting but human adventure above all! The adventure we participated in during 6 days on the Machame route was just exceptional both in the scenery and in the quality of the course not to mention the professionalism of the team (Guided by Dixon and Rama), the meals were just great for this type of environment, as well as for the tents.An adventure that I recommend to the sportiest of us, yes the final ascent is not for the world.Posted on Giada CVerified Great experience! Fantastic experience, we did a 5-day Safari booking a private tour (in two). We visited the national parks of Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, led by our super guide (his name was Praygod). The three parks are very different both in terms of landscape and wildlife, so we were happy to have visited all three. Although the price may seem high at first, a Third party of it is reserved for admission to the national parks (about $600-700 per person, if you decide to go on a private safari).The recommended campsites are fabulous, and being in the middle of the national parks they also allow you to have breakfast with elephants about ten meters away 😊 With TJ everything went well (not even a jeep failure 😉) and at the end of the Safari we were able to admire all the big 5!Posted on ThierryVerified Kilimanjaro via Machame - Polé polé! We made the ascent of Kilimanjaro by the Machame in early June.The team was on top! Patrick (guide), Michael (assistant guide), Jeremiah (cook) and all the others allowed us to enjoy this adventure and put every chance to get there.Not having any acclimatization problems, we asked to achieve in 6 days instead of 7. Preparation After several comparative researches, we contacted Emmanuel de Tanzania Joy Tours in February to prepare our adventure. The exchanges were fluid and clear. The prices charged in the normal way.A deposit is required and the balance is paid on site - provide cash $ to avoid 4% overload (common practice in Tanzania).FoodThe food was excellent, varied to keep the appetite and in large quantities. A hot water thermos was available at each meal for drinks (tea, coffee, chocolate).Breakfast: a porridge of millet, omelets, sausages, pancakes/bread with peanut butter / jam / etc.Lunch & dinner: soup, a main course (rice/pasta + vegetables + chicken/fish) and dessert (fresh fruit)Snack before dinner: popcorn + hot drink Ascension The "polé polé" rhythm is given by the guide and his assistant to acclimatize to the altitude. Taking Diamox is not mandatory but recommended.The porters dismantle, transport to human strength and set up camp to welcome us every step of the way. The last camp is particularly demanding for them because they have to transport water from the previous camp.Posted on Sabrina MVerified We had a great 3 days safari! Very easy straight forward organization process and communication with Emmanuel. All our requests were accomodated. Our guide was very nice and knowledgeable, tried his best to make the most of our trip. The lodge Eileens Trees Inn was very comfortable, service and food was good. Can definitely recommend!Posted on Shai bVerified Unforgettable experience. First I want to mention that our guide was amazing. He has a lot of knowledge about the area, the people and of course the animals. Very patient and insightful. He often shared facts about the area and animals.So, Roger if you are reading this thank you once again for this unforgettable safari. You helped create many beautiful memories for me and my family. Then the Safari. In short we were very lucky on our safari. On day one we drove to the conservation area. We already encountered 3 of the big 5: lions, African buffalos and elephants. At the end of our safari we completed the entire big 5. We saw so many more animals. I wish I could remember it all.Our second day we added the leopard to our big five list. We went all over the Serengeti National Park. Again we saw many lions, zebras, gnu (wildebeests), antilopes, impalas, baboons, vultures and many more.The third day and fourth day were amazing we went from our camp in the Serengeti to our camp in ngorongoro. Where we completed our big 5 list.Every meal during the Safari we enjoyed with our guide and he shared many stories.This review doesn't do entire experience any justice. It is a lot to take in. But also a lifetime to enjoy them.Thank you for a safe and unforgettable experience.
