    Highly recommend !

    Everything ran really smoothly, first day In Tarangire nation park was amazing and we saw Lions, leopards, elephants and much more! Food is nice, then we stayed at the campsite which was amazing with live performances, nice tents (better than expected) and overall a very fun atmosphere! Then we went to the Ngorogoro crater which was mind blowing and had the best time ever! Our guide Waldon was very good in pointing out the animals and very knowledgable ! Overall amazing and highly recommend

    Knowledgeable guide, excellent experience

    We had a blast with Allen as our lead guide for this two-day safari. He was patient, knowledgeable, humorous, and an overall fantastic guide. We started in Tarangire Park where Allen helped us see lions, a cheetah, elephants, zebras, and more. We had a delicious hot lunch there that we shared with others on either the same or similar safari trips. After Tarangire, we stayed at Kizumba Camp, a lodge where other safari-goers were also staying. The lodge has tents with beds and mosquito nets - nothing luxurious but it worked perfectly for what we needed. We left early the next day for Ngorongoro Crater which was an unbelievable experience. Allen guided our safari truck safely through the precarious roads and as we got down to the crater he was patient with us as we took tons of photos. There were herds of animals and the scenery - being surrounded by rolling mountains - was breathtaking. We had another hot lunch and after more sightseeing Allen navigated us back to our hotel. 10/10 would recommend!

    Response from the operator: thank you so much ..!! Jeff

    Very competitive price, excellent guide

    Game Park fees in Tanzania are very expensive. This is the main reason why trips to (say) Ngorongoro are so expensive. By the time you’ve stripped out the Park Fees, you realise how little the operator is getting for providing you with a 4WD and driver/guide. We organised a two day, one night Tarangire/Ngorogoro trip with Avocet and, compared to most other operators, they were almost half the price which did worry me slightly. I needn’t have worried though. Mike, our driver/guide was outstanding and the one night’s accommodation was in a property owned by the travel company. The overnight meals provided were good and the tented accommodation was better than I was expecting. So thanks to Jeff, the owner, who was most gracious on our arrival and made sure we were well looked after. The game parks are outstanding. Absolutely teeming with animals and birds. Particularly Ngorongoro. And the infrastructure is good. Dirt roads in the parks are well maintained and the entry/exit and bathroom facilities are clean and tidy so you can see where (some) of your Park Fees are going. I think one day in Ngorongoro is plenty of time though. I certainly didn’t feel as though there were any corners of the park we had missed. Thanks too to the Tanzanian government who have an even better approach to this whole Covid thing than Sweden. We didn’t even require masks on internal flights and, in fact, for added hilarity, they were actually telling Western tourists to remove their masks leaving Zanzibar airport. I highly recommend Avocet Travel. And particularly Mike, our guide. Remember to do the maths on the cut the Tanzanian government is taking and the (small) amount this leaves for the travel operators and tip your driver/guide generously. Contact them direct for their best prices.

    Jonas is the man

    Our tour was absolutely amazing. The first night we were picked up in Arusha and taken to the Taragire national park, where we saw dozens of elephants giraffe, and babboons, some only mere yards from the land cruiser. We camped that night in a nearby camp ground, which has WiFi, alcohol, great food, a local group of dancers who put on a show in the evening, and lots of travellers. The next morning we went to the Ngorogoro crater. We saw a rhino, hundreds of zebra and wildebeast, flamingos, imapala, gazelle, and some lions at a distance. Our driver Jonas was very friendly, communicative, and attentive to our needs. He even took us to a local Maasai tribe for a meet and greet.

    2 Days Group Joining Camping Safari Tarangire Park and Ngorongoro Crater: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.

    How much does 2 Days Group Joining Camping Safari Tarangire Park and Ngorongoro Crater cost?

    +

    Prices start at $120 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 Days Group Joining Camping Safari Tarangire Park and 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 Days Group Joining Camping Safari Tarangire Park and Ngorongoro Crater worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 28 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 Days Group Joining Camping Safari Tarangire Park and 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 Days Group Joining Camping Safari Tarangire Park and 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 Days Group Joining Camping Safari Tarangire Park and Ngorongoro Crater?

    +

    Around 10 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 Days Group Joining Camping Safari Tarangire Park and 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.
