Arusha to Tarangire National Park

After breakfast, you’ll be picked up from your accommodation in Arusha and head towards Tarangire National Park, located in the Manyara region. The park gets its name from the Tarangire River, which flows through it.

Covering 2,600 square kilometers, Tarangire is the 6th-largest national park in Tanzania and is renowned for its impressive herds of elephants. While the park is often drier than the Serengeti, its landscape is lush with vibrant grasses, expansive acacia woodlands, and unique aquatic forests. Don’t miss the majestic baobab trees, some of which can live up to 600 years and store between 300 and 900 liters of water.
