Arusha to Tarangire
You will be picked up at your hotel in Arusha and will be driven to Tarangine National Park via Arusha. The drive will be approximately 4-5 hours so sit back relax and get to know your guide. Once arrived, you will spend 4-5 hours driving within the park, that is famous in having a big number of elephants and huge scattered baobab trees. Other mammals like giraffes, antelopes, lions and cheetahs can be seen here but it’s not a guarantee. Lunch is provided during the day, but a word of wisdom although the local vervet monkeys may look cute they are mischieveious especially when it comes to food, so hold on to yours tightly. At roughly 04:00 pm we will leave the park and drive to your lodge for your dinner and to spend your first night.
