3-Day Luxury Tarangire Ngorongoro Safari with Tarangire Elephant Springs Camp
Why this Package
Crater rhino prospects pair with dry-season elephant gatherings in this 3-Day safari tour through Tarangire and Ngorongoro. Experience the thrill of spotting elephants near the Tarangire River at Tarangire Elephant Springs Camp, a high-end luxury tented camp that combines boutique finishes with the authentic atmosphere of a safari. This camp is perfectly positioned for all-day drives, allowing you to return for lunch and head out again for the golden hour when elephants gather.
Your journey begins in Arusha, where you will travel to Tarangire National Park, famous for its iconic baobabs and large elephant populations. Enjoy early teas and coffees before dawn drives, followed by picnic breakfasts under the trees. The camp’s luxury canvas tents feature en-suite bathrooms, king beds, and verandas with stunning views, ensuring a comfortable stay.
After your time in Tarangire, you will head to the Ngorongoro Crater, where you can witness the Big 5 in one of the most unique ecosystems on the planet. The crater's rich wildlife and breathtaking landscapes provide an unforgettable experience. Meals at the camp include light buffet lunches and plated dinners that showcase both international and Swahili flavors, creating a delightful dining experience.
For your overnight stay, you will enjoy the intimate atmosphere of KanKari Lodge in Karatu, a mid-range property that offers a peaceful garden retreat. With modest furnishings and a homely feel, it provides a cozy base for your adventures. The lodge is approximately 25–30 minutes from the Ngorongoro gate, allowing for early morning descents into the crater for optimal wildlife sightings.
With a mix of luxury and mid-range accommodations, this safari is ideal for first-time travelers looking to explore Tanzania's stunning landscapes and wildlife. Experience the warmth of personalized service, and immerse yourself in the beauty of the African wilderness.

Each safari company has its own strengths — some specialize in luxury safaris, some in mid-range, and some in budget trips. Their expertise depends on years of experience in specific price categories, the quality of their guides and vehicles, and the lodge partnerships they’ve built over time.
