Day 1

Tarangire National Park Adventure

Tarangire National Park Adventure

You will be picked up from your Arusha hotel or from Kilimanjaro or Arusha Airport and begin a three hour drive to Tarangire National Park. Enjoy a full day game drive inside the park, with a hot lunch served within the park. Later, you will proceed to Fanaka Lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.
Tarangire is known for its large herds of up to 300 elephants searching the dry riverbeds for underground streams, while nomadic wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, impala, gazelle, hartebeest, and eland gather around the shrinking water sources. It holds one of the highest concentrations of wildlife outside the Serengeti ecosystem, making it a prime location for predators. Tarangire is also the best place in Tanzania to spot dry country antelopes such as the elegant fringe-eared oryx and the unique long-necked gerenuk. Additionally, it is the only national park that hosts migrating animals during the dry season and becomes a temporary home to multiple wildlife species.

Main Destination:
Tarangire National Park
Best Time To Visit July to November (Animals come to the Tarangire River)
