Fly from Zanzibar to Arusha then Tarangire NP

Your Tanzanian adventure begins as you land at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) or Arusha Airport, where your private guide welcomes you and drives you 2.5 hours to Tarangire National Park. After checking into the scenic Tarangire Safari Lodge, perched above the Tarangire River, you’ll head out for an afternoon game drive in a private 4x4 vehicle. Tarangire’s vast plains teem with massive elephant herds, giraffes, lions, leopards, and over 500 bird species, framed by ancient baobab trees. A packed lunch keeps you fueled amidst the wilderness. As evening falls, embark on a thrilling night game drive (additional cost, arranged via the lodge), a rare opportunity in Tanzania’s national parks to spot nocturnal creatures like aardvarks, bush babies, and elusive leopards under the stars. Afterward, return to the lodge for a hearty dinner and a restful night, surrounded by the sounds of the bush.
