Day 1

Arusha to Tarangire National Park

Arusha to Tarangire National Park

Your safari begins with a hotel pick-up in Arusha, followed by a scenic drive to Tarangire National Park. Inside the park, golden savannas, towering baobab trees, and the winding Tarangire River set the stage for exceptional wildlife viewing. Known as the “Land of Giants,” Tarangire is renowned for its enormous elephant herds, often seen gathering and cooling off along the riverbanks. During the game drive, you may encounter buffalo, giraffes, impalas, waterbucks, abundant birdlife, and the wildlife-rich Silale Swamp. In the late afternoon, you'll depart the park and continue to the lush coffee-growing highlands of Karatu for your overnight stay.

Lake Manyara National Park to Arusha

Lake Manyara National Park to Arusha

After a relaxed breakfast at the lodge, you'll set off on a short drive to Lake Manyara National Park, a small yet remarkably diverse reserve nestled beneath the Great Rift Valley escarpment. Renowned for its elusive tree-climbing lions and shimmering alkaline lake often painted pink by flamingos and other waterbirds, the park offers a rich morning game drive through contrasting habitats. You'll explore the lush groundwater forest alive with blue monkeys and colorful birds, the open plains frequented by buffalo, wildebeest, and zebra, and the scenic lakeshore that delights bird enthusiasts. Following this rewarding safari experience, you'll depart the park and return to Arusha, where you’ll be dropped at your hotel or the airport, carrying lasting memories of Tanzania’s natural beauty.
