Arusha to Tarangire National Park
We will pick you up from your hotel and, after meeting your guide, chef, and fellow travelers, we'll embark on a 2-hour drive to Tarangire National Park, renowned for its diverse landscapes. The park is particularly famous for its ancient baobab trees and is home to the largest elephant population in Tanzania, offering unique opportunities to witness elephant families interacting. We'll enjoy a game drive through the park, focusing on areas where recent animal sightings have been reported (though spotting predators like lions, cheetahs, and leopards can be more challenging).

After a delicious lunch, we'll continue with the game drive and plan to exit the park around 4:30 pm. From there, we'll head to our campsite for dinner and an overnight stay.
