Day 1: Arusha to Tarangire National Park
Arrive at Arusha Airport at approximately 9:00 AM, where you’ll meet our friendly representative who will escort you to Tarangire National Park for an exciting game drive.
Known for its awe-inspiring elephant herds and ancient baobab trees, Tarangire offers a unique glimpse into the wonders of the African wilderness. The park is a haven for predators like tree-climbing lions, leopards, and pythons, often seen lounging in the branches of sausage trees.
As the Tarangire River meanders through the park, it becomes a magnet for migratory animals such as zebras, wildebeest, giraffes, and gazelles during the dry season. This creates one of Tanzania’s most remarkable wildlife spectacles. After enjoying a picnic lunch in the heart of the park, continue your game drive before heading to Karatu for dinner and overnight.
