Arusha to Tarangire National Park for a Game Drive

Our tour guide will pick you up from the lodge early in the morning and start the beautiful journey to Tarangire National Park for a game drive while carrying a hot lunch.

Tarangire National Park is well known for its large elephant herds and the diversity of its landscapes (from seasonal swamps to savanna, with the Tarangire River winding its way through the parklands). The Tarangire River is the only water source for wildlife during the Dry season. We may have the experience of seeing a lion stalking its prey or leopards watching while relaxing in the trees above. Once the game drives are done, we drive to the lodge for relaxation, dinner, and an overnight stay.
