2 Days Tanzania Safari in July from Tarangire to Ngorongoro

Since July is the peak dry season, this Tanzania safari in July to Tarangire and the crater provides unparalleled views of elephants gathering at the river. You will also see many predators in the Ngorongoro Crater as the grass is short and visibility is at its best. This is a prime time for witnessing the high density of animals in both parks.

The weather is generally dry and sunny, making for perfect game viewing conditions without the interference of rain. However, the mornings on the Ngorongoro Crater rim can be very cold, so you should pack a warm jacket and a scarf. During the day, temperatures are pleasant and mild across the savanna.

Our 4x4 Land Cruisers are equipped with a pop-up roof to ensure you have an unobstructed 360 degree view of the wildlife. You will find a cooler box with cold bottled water and charging ports to keep your cameras and phones powered throughout the day. Every traveler is guaranteed a window seat for the best possible photography experience.

Yes, we can easily alter the schedule to include a cultural visit to a Maasai boma near the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. This addition allows you to learn about traditional customs and see how the local people live in harmony with nature. It usually takes about an hour and provides a wonderful human connection to your wildlife tour.

Your package covers full board meals, including breakfast, picnic lunches in the heart of the park, and a hot dinner at your lodge. We use fresh local ingredients to prepare a variety of international and Tanzanian dishes. If you have any dietary restrictions like vegan or gluten free needs, please let us know in advance.

While nature is unpredictable, these two parks offer your best chance to see lions, elephants, buffaloes, and the rare black rhino. Leopards can be more elusive, but your professional guide will work hard to track them in the forested areas. The high concentration of animals in the crater makes it a very productive location for sightings.

Solo travelers are more than welcome to book this trip as a private tour or join an existing group if one is available. A private tour offers the most flexibility, allowing you to focus on the specific animals or birds that interest you most. We ensure every solo guest feels safe and well cared for from the moment of pickup.

July is the busiest month for tourism in Tanzania, so we strongly recommend booking at least six months ahead of time. This ensures that we can secure the best lodges and that a vehicle is reserved for your specific dates. Last minute bookings are sometimes possible, but accommodation options may be limited.

The clear blue skies and golden grass of July provide the iconic African backdrop that many photographers dream of capturing. Because water is scarce, you can often find large numbers of animals gathered around small pools, allowing for action shots of predators and prey. The dust is also minimal compared to the later dry season, resulting in very clear images.

We offer complimentary pickup from your hotel in Arusha or directly from Kilimanjaro International Airport to start your adventure early. At the end of the second day, your guide will drive you back to Arusha or to the airport for your evening flight. This door to door service makes the logistics entirely stress free for our clients.
