You will be picked up at Arusha airport or at your lodge in Arusha for the approximately two-hour drive to Tarangire National Park. Along the way, you'll pass bustling Maasai villages and the vast, open plains that have become synonymous with images of Africa.
Once you've entered Tarangire, you'll begin your game drive across a rich vista of endless golden savannah surrounding the Tarangire River. The river runs throughout the year and is a vital water source for the region's animals during the Dry season. Lined with acacia and baobab trees, the river is regularly visited by the park's large elephant population as well as other herbivores such as zebras and antelopes. A picnic lunch with a river view is a great way to take it all in.
Driving through the park, you'll also see lions, leopards, Cape buffaloes, and a huge variety of antelopes.
After your day's drive is done, you'll retire to your accommodation for the evening.
