Experience the best of Tarangire and Ngorongoro on this 4-day safari adventure, where you'll explore the stunning landscapes and wildlife of both parks. Two stops, high payoff in this safari tour: mornings in the Ngorongoro Crater for incredible wildlife density, and afternoons in Tarangire for majestic elephants and iconic baobab-dotted plains.

The lodge atmosphere leans towards a more conventional “lodge” feel, prioritizing guest comfort while remaining budget-friendly.

On your first day, you’ll head to Tarangire National Park, just a short drive from your lodge. Here, you can witness the park’s famous elephant herds and stunning baobab trees. After a night at Ikumbi, you’ll travel to the Ngorongoro Crater, where you can marvel at the diverse wildlife, including the Big 5, in this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

With this itinerary, you’ll enjoy the perfect balance of wildlife viewing and relaxation, making it an ideal choice for first-time visitors or those looking to combine their safari with a Kilimanjaro trek or a beach escape in Zanzibar.
