2-Day Ngorongoro Crater Safari

2 days Private safari, 2–7 guests per 4x4

For travellers with only a day or two to spare — before a Kilimanjaro climb, between flights, or as a taster — this overnight trip focuses entirely on the Ngorongoro Crater, where the density of wildlife on the enclosed floor gives you a realistic chance of lion, elephant, buffalo, black rhino and hippo in a single morning.

An extra half-day in Lake Manyara can be added on request.

Day-by-Day Itinerary

1
Arusha to the Ngorongoro rim

Drive from Arusha to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (about 3.5 hours), with a stop at a viewpoint over the crater. Overnight on the rim.

2
Ngorongoro Crater floor

Dawn descent for a half-day game drive on the crater floor, ascending for lunch. Drive back to Arusha in the afternoon.
