Arusha to Tarangire National Park

The drive from Arusha to Tarangire takes about 2 hours. Upon arrival, you will embark on a full-day game drive exploring the park’s most rewarding areas for spotting predators such as lions, cheetahs, and leopards, as well as classic herbivores including elephants, wildebeests, buffalos, zebras, and gazelles. The park’s stunning landscape, dotted with majestic baobab trees and sweeping savannah plains, offers incredible photographic opportunities.

As others begin to leave the park in the late afternoon, you’ll continue your adventure, enjoying the serenity of a less-crowded Tarangire and observing animals becoming more active as the sun sets. Later in the evening, you’ll settle into your authentic wilderness camp inside Tarangire, where you can relax by the campfire, listen to the distant calls of wildlife, and soak in the peace and tranquility that make Tarangire so unique—an experience unlike any other, even compared to the camps of the Serengeti.
