Safari Highlights

Why Choose a 2 Days Tanzania Safari in December?

A 2 Days Tanzania Safari in December is ideal for travelers who want a genuine African safari without committing to a long itinerary. Although the trip is short, it provides time to explore two iconic wildlife areas.

December is part of Tanzania’s green season. Rain showers can occur, but they are often followed by clear skies and fresh, vibrant landscapes. The renewed vegetation creates beautiful scenery and excellent conditions for photography.

Tarangire offers a particularly attractive experience with its famous baobab trees and large elephant populations, while the Ngorongoro Crater provides a concentrated wildlife experience within a spectacular volcanic landscape.

Your 2 Days Tanzania Safari in December begins with a morning pickup from Arusha or Moshi. After a safari briefing with your professional guide, you will drive toward Tarangire National Park.

Upon entering the park, your game drive begins. Tarangire is famous for its large elephant herds, impressive baobab trees and diverse wildlife. During the game drive, you may see elephants, zebras, wildebeest, giraffes, buffaloes, antelopes and many bird species.
