3 Day Fly-in Safari Arusha to Ngorongoro
3 Day Fly-in Safari from Arusha to Ngorongoro Overview
3 Day Fly-in Safari from Arusha (Tarangire & Ngorongoro) gives you the freedom to focus on wildlife instead of roads. You fly directly to the closest airstrips and meet your private guide for uninterrupted game viewing. You set the pace each day, whether you want sunrise starts or a relaxed breakfast and a shorter drive.
Best Time To Visit
Tarangire is excellent from June to October during the dry season when elephants gather along the river. November to May brings green landscapes and outstanding birdlife with fewer vehicles. Ngorongoro Crater is good all year since wildlife is resident. Pack warm layers for chilly mornings on the rim from June to August
