Overview

Your adventure to Tarangire National Park begins with a morning pick-up from your accommodation as you head out to explore one of Tanzania's most iconic parks. Known for its vast herds of elephants and towering baobab trees, Tarangire offers a unique and rewarding safari experience. As you enter the park, you'll be welcomed by the sweeping vistas of open plains and the Tarangire River winding through the landscape, a vital water source that attracts a wide variety of wildlife.

Your game drive starts in the early hours, providing the best opportunity to witness animals as they are most active. Herds of elephants, some of the largest in Africa, roam freely, and you’ll have ample time to observe them as they move across the savannah. Keep your eyes peeled for lions lounging under the shade of acacia trees, giraffes browsing the treetops, and zebras grazing on the grassy plains. Tarangire is also a haven for bird enthusiasts, with over 500 species, including the colorful yellow-collared lovebird and the giant Kori bustard.

Around midday, you’ll break for a picnic lunch at a designated area, enjoying your meal surrounded by the tranquility of nature. After lunch, the exploration continues with more wildlife viewing. You may see large herds of wildebeest, gazelles, and buffaloes, along with elusive leopards and cheetahs, if you're lucky. The ancient baobab trees, dotted across the landscape, provide striking scenery as you drive through the park.

As the afternoon progresses, the Tarangire River becomes the focal point, attracting a wide variety of animals coming to drink and bathe. You’ll have the chance to observe these fascinating interactions up close, capturing the essence of the African wilderness. The diversity of wildlife and the beauty of Tarangire’s landscapes make for a truly unforgettable experience.

In the late afternoon, you’ll leave the park and be driven back to your accommodation, arriving in the evening with lasting memories of a thrilling day in Tarangire National Park.

The meal plan for the day includes a packed lunch, with all transport arranged to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience.

Tour Plan

Depart from Arusha early in the morning at around 6:00 am and drive to the Tarangire National Park, taking sumptuous picnic hampers prepared in a special home kitchen just for you. The Safari will take you through the changing landscape as the urban jungle will be replaced by wide open plains and picturesque Masai villages.

Once in the Park, keep your camera ready for the wilderness of this Jewel. Look up at a tree to spot one of the famous climbing leopards of Tarangire, and look closer – is that a python? Enjoy the picnic hamper at one of the park’s picnic areas, with an amazing view. Keep an eye on your food though, as the resident monkeys will be more than happy to share the tasty treat if given the opportunity!

Continue with the game drive during the afternoon, drinking in all the sights and sounds of this perfect little park. We’ll drive you back to Arusha to arrive in the cool of the evening.
