2 Days Tanzania Northern Circuit Safari Tour
This package gives you a great one day safari experience before you uncover the cultural hidden treasures of our people. Shortly after landing at Kilimanjaro International Airport, we will take you to Tarangire National Park. The Park is reputed to contain some of the largest elephant herds in Africa. This African National Park is also home to three rare species of animals – the Greater Kudu, the Fringed-eared Oryx, as well as a few Ashy Starlings. Tarangire is spectacular in the dry season when many of the migratory wildlife species come back to the permanent waters of the Tarangire River. After Tarangire, we will take you to Mto wa Mbu. This village offers a very rare experience for visitors! Around 120 tribes reside in the village – it’s a cross-cultural melting pot with probably the most exotic mix of languages and customs found anywhere in Tanzania. The village is surrounded by magnificent scenery and is situated on the main road which leads to the Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater and Conservation Area. While on the Village, you can try banana beer, visit traditional houses, learn about Makonde carving, do shopping and much more things before we drive back to Kilimanjaro International Airport to catch your flight.
The best and most recommended landing time at Kilimanjaro International Airport is between 04h00 – 08h00.

Meal Plan: Full Board
Accommodation: Kudu Lodge & Campsite
Upon your arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport with your morning Flight, you will meet our Driver Guide and proceed to Tarangire National Park, arriving in time for a game drive with your Picnic lunch in the Park. The Park is in the northern Tanzania, just south of Lake Manyara. Located slightly off the main safari route, Tarangire National Park is a lovely, quiet park in Northern Tanzania. It is most famous for its elephant migration, birding and authentic safari atmosphere. The game viewing from July to October is exceptional, but for the remainder of the year the majority of game migrates out of the park, onto the floor of the Rift Valley and to the grazing grounds of the Masai steppe. This is a protected area of colossal baobabs, grassy plains and huge herds of elephant. The park is one of the most underrated of Tanzania’s attractions, receiving just a fraction of the Serengeti’s visitors, which means more space and exclusivity for those who do make it to Tarangire. As well as 300-strong herds of elephant, visitors will find big groups of buffalo and healthy populations of lion and leopard. During the dry season, Tarangire has the highest concentration of mammals in the country. There are wild dog and rare antelope such as gerenuk, plus more than 550 species of birds to spot throughout the year. Tarangire is the ideal park for those who want to explore beyond game drives. Walk through the savannah to study the smallest creatures and learn about tracking animals. Dinner and stay overnight at Kudu Lodge & Campsite on full board basis.
