Tarangire National Park

Arusha is the safari capital of the country and a bustling ‘tourism driven’ city. You will be picked up from the hotel by your driver-guide in Arusha and together you will begin the transfer to Tarangire National Park to start your private safari game drive. The name of the park originates from the Tarangire River, which crosses the park and is the main source of freshwater for the wildlife.

This quiet park is famous for its elephant migration, bird life and authentic safari atmosphere. You will enjoy a packed lunch at midday and at the end of the afternoon’s game drive you will make your way to Africa Safari Lake Manyara. On arrival you will have time to refresh before finishing the day with dinner under the stars and a good night’s sleep in one of our comfy accommodations. Let’s go on safari!

Maasai Culture - Transfer to Arusha area

Departure day…

All good things end! Enjoy your last meal at the lodge prior to checking out, ready for your journey to Arusha. After meeting your driver-guide at the reception, you will head off on an easy two-hour drive back to where it all started; heart and camera filled with memories of your African safari adventure.

While on the way back to Arusha you will visit a Maasai village for a cultural tour; As soon as you are in sight, they will start performing their traditional Adumu dance. Bouncing on the spot, they sang a deep guttural base. Men take it in turn to jump high into the sky like straight-legged bean polls in unison with the chanting until they break the low-toned chant with a high-pitched shriek. Drop off in Arusha area.
