Arusha - Tarangire NP

In the morning you will be picked up from your lodgings in Arusha by our personal safari guide. We set out for Tarangire National Park on a good tarmac road across gently rolling Maasai plains with scattered acacia trees. As we zip along we'll pass many Maasais in their colourful dresses walking on the roadside, riding bicycles, herding cattle and driving donkey carts. Tarangire, well known for its large elephant herds, is also host to a multitude of other creatures. From the open roof of our state-of-the-art safari jeep, we'll experience the seasonal swamps, savanna and life-giving Tarangire River. Endeavour to encounter a multitude of creatures, from zebra to wildebeest, buffalo, elephant, and giraffe, to name a few. It is possible we will glimpse lions stalking prey or leopards watching, relaxing in the trees above.
After our extensive game drive experiencing the varied sights and sounds of the wilderness, we will drive you to your accommodation for dinner and your overnight stay.
