Arusha to Tarangire National Park

We will pick you up from your hotel. After introducing you to the guide and chef, you will drive to Tarangire National Park, which is a 2-hour drive away. The park is renowned for its diverse landscape and is particularly famous for its ancient baobab trees and the largest concentration of elephants in the country. This offers unique opportunities to observe the interactions among elephant families.

You will embark on a game drive through the park, focusing on areas where there are reported sightings of animals. While herbivores like giraffes, wildebeests, and zebras are abundant and easy to spot, the predators—such as lions, cheetahs, and leopards—can be more elusive.

Later, you will stop at the Tarangire River picnic site, where you can enjoy a beautiful view of the river and the surrounding wildlife while having lunch.

After lunch, you will continue with the game drive. After the tour, you will head to your accommodation in Mto Wa Mbu, where you will stay at the campsite.
