Itinerary

Day 1: Arusha to Tarangire National Park

The first day of your safari will begin by 8 am in the morning with a pickup from your hotel at Arusha. Once everyone is aboard, you will head towards Tarangire National Park. The (150 km) drive will be covered in about 3 hrs.

The national park is extremely famous and special for its diverse landscape and nine different vegetation zones. As you begin your game drive, you will be welcomed by the ancient and gigantic Baobab trees, which make even animals like the giraffe look tiny. The game drive goes on till about late afternoon and includes a small stop for a picnic lunch.

The 1,100 sq miles park gets its name from the Tarangire river that flows through it. The river attracts a lot of diverse animals, and you should be able to spot a lot of elephants, giraffe, lions, antelopes and zebra. If it’s your lucky day, you might be able to spot the tree climbing python and the long-necked Gerek. Post the game drive, you will head to your lodge a where a delicious dinner awaits you.
