Arusha to Tarangire National Park
Your Kilimanjaro On Foot safari guide will collect you from your lodge after breakfast. This morning, you will drive to Tarangire National Park, a journey of approximately two and a half hours on good tarmac roads. The park is named after the Tarangire River, which winds through the landscape. Known as the 'river of warthogs,' it serves as the region’s only water source for wildlife during the dry season.
Tarangire is famous for its large elephant herds, often seen congregating along the riverbanks. You may also encounter giraffes, bushbucks, and hartebeests, while a variety of predators—including lions and leopards—closely follow these animals. Bird enthusiasts will delight in the park, as more bird species breed here than anywhere else on the planet. The park’s iconic ancient baobab trees are a highlight, some of which are said to be over a thousand years old.
Lunch will be enjoyed at a picnic site inside the park. After your game drive, you will continue to your Lodge in Karatu.

Lake Manyara National Park
This morning, you will drive to Lake Manyara National Park, your final stop on this unforgettable safari. Though small, Lake Manyara is remarkably diverse, located 120 km west of Arusha. Its landscapes are both compact—one of Africa’s narrowest parks—and grand, with the Great Rift Escarpment towering over its western edge.
The park’s centerpiece is a shallow Salt Lake that expands and recedes with the seasons, attracting thousands of wading birds, including flamingos and over 500 other species. In the park’s dense evergreen forests, you may spot baboons and elephants and keep an eye out for the famous tree-climbing lions.
Enjoy a picnic lunch inside the park before concluding your safari. After your game drive, you will be dropped off at your preferred location, whether it’s Arusha, Kilimanjaro International Airport, or Arusha Airport.
