3-Day Upper Mid-Range Tarangire Ngorongoro Safari with Embalakai Tented Camp
Why this Package
Families appreciate the pace—this 3-day safari tour through Tarangire and Ngorongoro offers easy transfers and diverse experiences each day. Begin your adventure in Tarangire National Park, renowned for its massive elephant herds and iconic baobabs, where you can witness these gentle giants in their natural habitat. Following your time in Tarangire, you'll head to the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its rich wildlife and stunning landscapes.
Your stay at Embalakai Tented Camp provides a cozy, rustic experience nestled in the acacia woodland near the crater rim. Enjoy hearty meals served in the mess tent, with early breakfasts arranged to maximize your time in the crater. The camp's intimate atmosphere is complemented by communal dinners around a campfire, allowing for authentic social interactions.
Each tent features wooden flooring, canvas walls, and a private veranda that immerses you in the bush environment. The en-suite bathrooms include flush toilets and hot bucket showers, ensuring comfort during your stay. With a central lounge tent for evening relaxation, Embalakai offers a unique blend of adventure and comfort.
Access to the Ngorongoro crater descent road is just a short drive away, allowing you to be among the first to witness the morning wildlife activity. This proximity enhances your chances of spotting lions, hyenas, and leopards before the crowds arrive. For those seeking a blend of adventure and comfort, this safari is ideal for first-timers or families looking to explore Tanzania's incredible wildlife.
For a more luxurious option, consider the Ngorongoro Coffee Lodge, which offers spacious cottages and a pool, perfect for those who prefer a more refined experience. However, the charm of Embalakai lies in its simplicity and direct access to the crater, making it a fantastic choice for your safari.

Book with the Right Tour Operator

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.
