2 Days Camping Safari
2 Days Camping Safari in Tanzania ,Tarangire, and Ngorongoro Crater
Trip Highlights
These two-day Tanzania camping safaris will take you to Tanzania's most renowned UNESCO world heritage site, the Ngorongoro Crater, as well as Tarangire National Park, a world-famous safari park known for its distinctive elephant herds. The park and the Ngorongoro Crater are not far apart, and with a variety of lodgings built up at Karatu (just outside the Ngorongoro Conservation), you can have a very fulfilling safari in Tanzania in only two days and one night at one of the several campsites in the Karatu region, or even the Mto wa Mbu and Lake Manyara area, which is really midway between the two wildlife areas.
Trip style
Comfort and privacy - You'll have your own private safari jeep, an experienced safari driver guide, and a private chef to make all of your meals. During the safari, you will stay at a public campsite, where you will sleep in canvas tents with mattresses and pillows, and toilet facilities will be shared with other campers. Although we recommend that you bring your own sleeping bag, you can still hire one in Arusha for a reasonable price if you pay for the entire trip.

This huge population of ungulates is moving around the Tarangire Lake Manyara ecosystem.
