Your safari begins with an early pickup from your hotel or the airport in Arusha. After a short briefing, you’ll drive about two hours to Tarangire National Park, famous for its large herds of elephants, striking baobab trees, and diverse birdlife.
The park is less crowded than others, offering a peaceful start to your safari. You’ll enjoy a full-day game drive, stopping for a picnic lunch at one of the scenic viewpoints near the river. Keep an eye out for lions, giraffes, wildebeest, and more.
