Families appreciate the pace—this 3-day safari tour takes you through the stunning landscapes of Tarangire and the iconic Ngorongoro Crater, all while enjoying the comforts of an upper mid-range lodge. Begin your adventure at Tarangire Ndovu Tented Lodge, a classic luxury tented camp that offers quick access to Tarangire’s northern river loops. Here, you can wake to the soothing sounds of birdsong and immerse yourself in the magic of elephants and baobabs. The dry months bring vast herds to the Tarangire River, while the green season offers superb birding opportunities.

During your stay, indulge in early hot breakfasts or grab-and-go pastries for your first-light departures. Enjoy packed picnics to savor amidst nature, and hearty dinners featuring grilled mains and fresh salads. Each Meru-style tent is equipped with proper beds, fine linens, and en-suite bathrooms, ensuring a comfortable retreat after a day of exploration.

On your second day, venture to the Ngorongoro Crater, where you can witness the spectacular wildlife that thrives in this UNESCO World Heritage site. The crater is renowned for its Big 5 sightings, including majestic tuskers and vibrant flamingos. Staying at the Ngorongoro Coffee Lodge, nestled among Karatu’s coffee estates, provides a cozy base with generous cottages, a swimming pool, and a small spa for relaxation.

With a focus on family-friendly amenities and a warm, professional hosting experience, this safari is perfect for first-time visitors or those looking to combine their adventure with a trip to Zanzibar or a climb of Mount Kilimanjaro. Plan your dawn departures to maximize your wildlife viewing opportunities, as both parks are easily accessible from your lodges.
