Arrive to tarangire national park

Begin your safari adventure with an early morning departure from Arusha, heading southwest toward Tarangire National Park—one of Tanzania’s most picturesque and wildlife-rich parks. The drive takes approximately 2–3 hours, giving you a glimpse of the rural Tanzanian landscape and local villages along the way.

Upon arrival at the park, you'll embark on a full-day game drive, exploring its vast savannahs, acacia woodlands, and riverine habitats. Tarangire is especially renowned for its large elephant populations and the striking baobab trees that dot the landscape like ancient natural sculptures. Keep your eyes open for lions, leopards, giraffes, wildebeests, buffaloes, zebras, and a variety of antelope species.

As the sun begins to set, exit the park and drive to the nearby town of Mto wa Mbu, nestled at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment. Arrive at your lodge, where you can freshen up and enjoy a delicious dinner.
