Arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport and Game Drive in Tarangire National Park

Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, our guide will meet you and briefly overview your safari. Then, you will be driven to Tarangire National Park, approximately a 1.5-hour drive from Arusha.

Your day will be filled with extensive wildlife viewing in the park, known for having more African elephants per square kilometer than any other national park in Tanzania and is often referred to as the home of elephants in the country. During this safari, you will see various threatened and endangered species, ebony trees, pythons, cheetahs, African wild dogs, lesser and greater kudu, Beisa oryx and gerenuks. Additionally, you can admire around 550 species of birds, a more significant number than in the Serengeti. You will leave with a blend of adventurous memories and a deep appreciation for nature.

After lunch, we will continue our game drive until approximately 4:00pm, when we will check out and travel for about an hour to Lake Manyara National Park for an overnight stay.

Manyara is home to various wildlife, including tree-climbing lions, hippos, elephants, zebras, buffalo, giraffes, baboons, blue monkeys, vervet monkeys and warthogs. Additionally, approximately 350 bird species have been recorded here, and five vegetation zones support a rich diversity of birds and animals.
