Day 1

Arusha to Tarangire National Park

Arusha to Tarangire National Park

We will pick you up from your hotel, and after you get acquainted with your guide and chef. You'll embark on a two-hour drive to Tarangire National Park, renowned for its diverse landscape. The park is famous for its ancient baobab trees and holds the largest concentration of elephants in the country, offering unique opportunities to observe elephant family interactions.

You'll enjoy a game drive through the park, focusing on areas where wildlife sightings have been reported. While herbivores like giraffes, wildebeest, and zebras are plentiful, the real thrill lies in spotting elusive predators such as lions, cheetahs, and leopards.

Later, you'll head to the Tarangire River picnic site, where you can savor lunch with a stunning view of the river and nearby wildlife. Playful monkeys and baboons may try to steal a bite, but there's no need to worry.

From there, you'll descend into the crater in search of the elusive black rhinos. Although spotting rhinos can be challenging, the crater's floor generally offers excellent visibility for other wildlife. The Ngorongoro Crater stands out as the crown jewel of Tanzania’s parks, with its picturesque scenery and abundant wildlife.
