6-Day Tanzania Safari with Tented Camps and Big Five Game Drives

After breakfast, you will be picked up from your hotel for a safari from Arusha to Tarangire National Park. Tarangire National Park is famous for its dense wildlife population, which is most spectacular between June and September, the dry season. During this time, thousands of animals - wildebeest, buffalo, and Oryx - migrate from the dry Maasai steppe to the Tarangire River in search of water. Lions, leopards, and other predators follow the herds. Tarangire is also home to over 500 varieties of birds.

Have lunch, enjoy a late afternoon game drive, and then continue to the camp for dinner and an overnight stay at Octagon Lodge.
