Tarangire National Park

After breakfast, your driver-guide will collect you, and your safari will commence. You will drive from Arusha to Tarangire National Park which takes approximately 3 hours. The name of the park originates from the Tarangire River which crosses through the park, the only source of water for wild animals during the dry seasons.

The park is famous for its huge number of elephants, baobab trees, and tree-climbing African pythons. The park covers an area of approximately 2,850 square kilometers. You will enjoy a full day of game viewing with a picnic lunch looking out over the river. After a nice game drive, you will drive to the lodge or campsite before it gets dark for dinner and an overnight stay.

This diverse and interesting landscape will provide you with the ultimate in game viewing. You can expect to see all of the plains game like elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, lions, and if you are lucky, the elusive leopards and cheetahs.
