Day 1

Arusha to Tarangire National Park

Arusha to Tarangire National Park

On the first day we will pick you up from Arusha /Kilimanjaro Airport or your hotel in (or around) Arusha. During the 2.5 hour drive, you will enjoy the beautiful nature and landscapes. In Tarangire, we'll do a game drive before lunch. After lunch at the picnic site, we'll do a game drive all afternoon. Tarangire National Park is located 115km south of Arusha, and is a long and narrow park that covers 2850sq km, and runs along the Tarangire River. The name of the park is also coming from the Tarangire River, which is the only source of water for wild animals during the dry season. The park is famous for its large number of elephants, baobab trees and tree climbing African pythons. During the dry months the concentration of animals around the Tarangire River is almost as diverse and reliable as in the Ngorongoro Crater. At the end of the afternoon we will arrive at the Jambo Lodge and Campsite where you can freshen up and get ready for dinner prepared by your private cook.
