For those pressed for time, this two day/one night safari packs in two of Tanzania's most beloved national parks. You'll have the chance to see the Big Five and plenty more as you travel to these two wonderful parks. Tarangire National Park, home to Tanzania's largest elephant population, is a fascinating park during the dry season when the Tarangire River becomes a vital source of water for animals throughout the region. As vast herds of wildebeest and zebra move to the river to replenish, the park's lions, leopards, and hyenas capitalize in a dynamic display of nature's cruel beauty. It's then on to the world famous Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where cape buffalo, rhinoceros, and hippopotamus can be spotted amid the caldera's verdant plains. A picnic lunch by the hippo pool is a rare treat, allowing you to have a meal within a few dozen feet of these intimidating herbivores.

Excellent Safari experience
Communication was quick and clear Service: - I was combined with another group, who had different (budget package), thus I was losing 2 hours per day (30 min to wait for them to put up a tent + 30 min to go to my place and same in the morning 30 min to go to their place + 30 min waiting for them to pack everything in a car). Not sure if that is the best practice - to combine groups with different budget - Food was okay, but almost the same every day (eggs for breakfast, cold lunch, chicken for dinner) - Tented camps were great with hot water and all you need - Guide was great, knew everything and answered all questions (his name was Prayson) - a very intelligent guy and a good driver - Tribes visit and market was great + really great guide James was very helpful there Organization of the trip didn't meet my expectation (combination with a budget group), but tented camps and super guide Payson exceeded my expectations Overall, I would recommend Africa Joy tours to others
Response from the operator: Dear guest, We highly appreciate your great recommendation of our company from the trip you had with us. It was a great pleasure to host you during your trip and we are glad that you had an awesome experience. Thank you for choosing us and welcome back!

Fantastic, perfect, lovely Safari with Africa Joy Tours
We are two ladies, made a last minute booking for a one week safari to Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Africa Joy Tours. They were able to arrange everything within two days! We had a very personal contact, they came to see us in the hotel for Briefing and to arrange all. We got a thorough information about the tour program, were asked for any special wishes. Once on the way, everything was taken care of by our driver/guide PrayGod. He was accommodating, knowledgable, and always cool. Even before we knew what we wanted, he already offered it: coffee brake-very good soluble coffee. We see the leopard, lunch picknick. He never imposed himself, but was there. On the way to Manyara he offered us an extra tour and lunch in a local village, DO IT. The tented camps =medium range, Tortilis chain, were lovely. Everything was in order, mosquito nets, zippers, no fail. They arrange the schedule according to the needs of the safari tour. When do you want your hot shower? At 6:30? One of the Tanzanians climbs a ladder outside of your tank, pours the hot water in, and shouts "ready hot shower!" and there you go. Lovely. Have you ever heard lions roaring near you, very near you, at night? We stayed in Tortilis Lake Manyara 1 night, Serengeti Tortilis Camp 2 nights and Ngorongoro Tortilis Camp 1 night. Amazing, what they can put together for lodging, food, drinks and warm welcome in the middle of nowhere. Such lovely people. The jeep was in very good order, very "comfortable", if you can call that a jeep on a track, always cleaned and well maintained, cool box, The Staffs from Africa Joy Tours were always in contact with the guide to know, if everything was ok. Our guide PrayGod was a lot in contact with his friends, the other guides no matter which tour operator, to know, if there was anything special to see. That is how we once arrived at at anysite seeing the spectacular wildlife. Ngorongoro is one of the Wonders of the World. Paradise lost. All different animals living together and supplying each other, if you understand what I mean. Just so great. PrayGod, our guide, showed us the best places, he has more than 12 years of experience, you be sure to want that. We highly Recommend Africa Joy Tours for your Tanzania Safari. Thank you.

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2-Day Group Join Safari Tarangire & Ngorongoro Crater: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does 2-Day Group Join Safari Tarangire & Ngorongoro Crater cost?
+
Prices start at $600 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Arusha usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2-Day Group Join Safari Tarangire & Ngorongoro Crater take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Arusha is not rushed.
Is 2-Day Group Join Safari Tarangire & Ngorongoro Crater worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Arusha, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2-Day Group Join Safari Tarangire & Ngorongoro Crater?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2-Day Group Join Safari Tarangire & Ngorongoro Crater suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2-Day Group Join Safari Tarangire & Ngorongoro Crater?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Arusha can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Arusha and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2-Day Group Join Safari Tarangire & Ngorongoro Crater start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Arusha within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Arusha?
+
On Outty we rank every Arusha experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Arusha Guided City Tour &Hotel Pickup (History, Culture &Market, 5 Days Camping Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro crater & Visiting Maasai, Materuni Waterfalls, coffee tour & Kikuletwa Hot Springs. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Arusha?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Arusha?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in 2-Day Group Join Safari Tarangire & Ngorongoro Crater?
+

+
