2 Days Tanzania Open-Vehicle Safari Tarangire to Ngorongoro

This specialized 2-day open-vehicle safari uses cars without side windows to provide an unobstructed 360 degree view of the wildlife. It allows you to feel much closer to nature and hear the sounds of the bush more clearly. You will find that this setup is much better for photography and spotting hidden animals in the thickets.

Yes, these vehicles are perfectly safe when following the instructions of your professional guide from Burigi Chato Safaris CO LTD. Animals generally perceive the vehicle as one large object and do not see the people inside as separate entities. You will always stay at a respectful distance to ensure a secure and peaceful encounter.

Because the car is open to the elements, you should dress in layers to handle the changing temperatures. The mornings at the Ngorongoro Crater rim can be very cold, while Tarangire becomes quite dusty and warm in the afternoon. A windbreaker and a scarf are highly recommended to keep you comfortable during the drive.

We can certainly alter the 2-day open-vehicle safari to include a short guided walk near the park boundaries. This provides a great opportunity to learn about tracking and the smaller flora that you might miss while driving. Just let us know your interests so we can adjust the logistics accordingly.

The lack of glass windows means you do not have to deal with reflections or glare when taking pictures of the Big Five. It allows for quick movements and different angles that are simply not possible in a standard closed vehicle. You will capture much sharper and more vivid images of the lions and rhinos on the crater floor.

We usually recommend this specific trip for older children who can sit quietly and follow safety guidelines. Because the sides are open, it requires a certain level of maturity to ensure everyone stays safely inside the vehicle. We can provide car seats or alternative closed vehicles for families with very young toddlers.

All our open sided vehicles are equipped with heavy duty canvas rolls that can be quickly lowered in case of a sudden downpour. This ensures that you and your camera gear stay dry while still allowing you to see out. Rainfall in these parks is often brief, and the dust settling usually makes for excellent air clarity afterwards.

It is very easy to include a cultural stop at a Maasai boma during your transition between Tarangire and the Ngorongoro region. This allows you to experience the vibrant local traditions and meet the people who live alongside the wildlife. It adds a rich human layer to your short wildlife journey.

For this trip, we partner with luxury lodges and permanent tented camps that offer high levels of comfort. You will enjoy hot showers, delicious meals, and cozy beds after a long day of exploring the savanna. Most of our selected stays are located in areas with great views of the surrounding wilderness.

Solo travelers are more than welcome to book this experience as a private tour for ultimate flexibility. While it is a premium option, it gives you the freedom to spend as much time as you want at specific sightings. We can also look for group joining options if you prefer to share the experience and costs with others.
