2 Days Arusha & Ngorongoro Safari with Origin Ventures

The Perfect Short Safari Escape

Embark on an unforgettable journey into one of Africa’s most iconic safari destinations. This 2-day safari to Ngorongoro Crater is perfect for travelers based in Arusha who want a short yet immersive wildlife experience. Known as the "Eighth Wonder of the World," Ngorongoro offers dramatic scenery and unparalleled wildlife viewing all year round.

Day one begins with a scenic drive from Arusha through the beautiful highlands of northern Tanzania. Upon reaching the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, enjoy a drive along the rim before descending 600 meters into the Crater — the largest unbroken volcanic caldera in the world. The Crater floor is home to a dense concentration of wildlife, including elephants, lions, hippos, zebras, wildebeests, buffaloes, and the rare black rhino. You’ll also encounter colorful birdlife, with flamingos, crowned cranes, and dozens of raptor species dotting the skies.
