Zanzibar, to Arusha Airport, to Tarangire

Your adventure begins before sunrise. At 4:00 AM, your transfer guide picks you up from your hotel in Zanzibar and escorts you to the airport, handling your check-in every step of the way. A scenic one-hour flight whisks you over the Indian Ocean and onto the Tanzanian mainland, where your private expert safari guide and our office representative will be waiting at Arusha Airport to welcome you with a full safari briefing.

From there, you head straight into the wild, and your first game drive in Tarangire National Park awaits. Famous for its extraordinary elephant herds and ancient baobab-dotted landscapes, Tarangire is a spectacular introduction to the Tanzanian bush. As the sun sets, you make your way to Karatu town for a well-earned overnight rest.
