2 Day Safari in Ngorongoro Crater & Lake Manyara

Perfect for travelers with limited time, this 2-day safari lets you experience two of northern Tanzania’s most stunning parks in just two days. Begin with a journey straight from Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) to the legendary Ngorongoro Crater, where you’ll descend into an ancient volcanic caldera teeming with wildlife. On the second day, explore the lush groundwater forests and lakeside plains of Lake Manyara National Park, home to tree-climbing lions, flamingos, and elephants. Short, scenic, and packed with adventure — this is Tanzania’s wilderness at its best.

Ngorongoro Crater for Game Drive

Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), your driver-guide will greet you and begin the journey to the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater. After a scenic drive through highland villages and the Great Rift Valley, you’ll arrive at the crater rim and descend 600 meters into the floor of this ancient caldera.

Inside the crater, enjoy a half-day game drive with opportunities to see the Big Five — especially the rare black rhino, as well as lions, buffalos, zebras, hippos, flamingos, and more. After your safari, transfer to your lodge or tented camp for dinner and rest.
