Tarangire National Park is well known for its stunning scenery, and it will be our first day of the safari. The park is located southwest of Arusha and covers an area of approximately 2,600 square kilometers.

The park also provides a good chance to spot cheetahs, African wild dogs, and greater kudu. In terms of birdlife, Tarangire National Park is home to over 400 species, giving you a unique opportunity to observe and learn about them at close range. This first day is full of surprises and delivers an undeniably magnificent safari experience.

After an extensive game drive in the evening, you will proceed to Eileen’s Trees in Karatu, where you will enjoy a well-prepared, high-quality meal, a hot shower, and comfortable, beautiful rooms to relax and prepare for the next day’s safari.
