Day 1
Tarangire National Park
This short but immersive safari begins with an early departure from your hotel in Arusha toward Tarangire National Park, approximately a 2-hour drive. Tarangire is often referred to as a hidden gem, famous for its massive elephant herds, ancient baobab trees, and the life-giving Tarangire River that winds through the park. During the Dry season, the river attracts a concentration of wildlife that rivals even the Serengeti. Game drives here offer excellent sightings of elephants, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeests, and predators like lions and leopards, especially near the riverbanks. The landscape in Tarangire is diverse- rolling hills, swamps, open savannah, and thick woodland which supports more than 500 species of birds, making it a bird lover’s paradise. The park also has rare species like the fringe-eared oryx and gerenuk, which are not commonly seen elsewhere. Your guide will share insights into animal behaviour, plantlife, and the ecosystem.

Day 2
Ngorongoro Crater
After an early breakfast, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Africa’s best wildlife viewing areas. The crater floor hosts the Big Five, including a chance to see the rare black rhino. Expect sightings of hyenas, hippos, flamingos, and more in the grasslands and crater lakes. Enjoy a picnic lunch at the hippo pool picnic site before continuing your game drive. In the afternoon, ascend the crater wall and return to Arusha.

This was our second time using Tanzania Songbirds Safaris. Isreal and Daudi didn't disappoint. They were so knowledgeable about the animals and land. The walking section definitely made the day perfect. Lunch at the lake was amazing and were the views. I appreciated our game driver's cadence for stops. We had a ton of great sightings and close encounters.

Do yourself a favor and book that excursion you’re considering!
You will not be disappointed when you book with Tanzania Songbirds Safari. The operators are generous with their time, knowledge, and care. Our team of 8 was attended to like family and it made a fabulous safari even more magical! We visited Arusha National Park, where we saw animals from the vehicle AND walked among them. Being on foot for safari in this beautiful land is a must if you have the opportunity! From start to finish, Israel was attentive and helpful. I have been on many excursions, safaris, adventures, etc and if you are in Arusha and looking for a perfect event, book with Israel. Look no further, feel confident in booking with them.

Israel is caring, considerate and great spotter!
On my first trip to Tanzania I went on two Safaris. My experience w this tour group was amazing! Professional and caring are just two words to describe this company and the leaders who run it. We had an orientation the day before. Our driver was fantastic and also a great spotter! Israel was our guide and did a great job finding animals. He was full of information about the park and the wildlife we encountered. I will be back in Tanzania next year and will definitely hire this company for any and all expeditions and tours.

A must do experience!
We did a single day safari in Arusha National Park with Israel and Daudi as our guides, I’m sorry to say that I cannot remember our drivers names but that’s not because they weren’t exceptional I’m just bad with names. The entire team was top notch! On the drive to the park they asked us questions to get to know us, including what animals we would love to see, and once in the park both the guides and the drivers were so good at spotting animals and remembering which animals we really loved and pointing them out. This was my favorite safari experience and I will be booking with them the next time I’m in Tanzania!
