Tarangire National Park Game Drive Safari

  • Receive a pick-up from your hotel at 7:30 am.

  • After getting familiar with the guide and other clients, drive to Tarangire National Park, a journey of about 1 hour and 45 minutes. The park is famous for its diverse landscape, its abundance of ancient baobab trees, and the largest concentration of elephants in the country. It offers a unique chance to observe the interaction between elephant families.

  • Enjoy a game drive through the park, depending on reported sightings of animals. Keep an eye out especially for predators such as lions, cheetahs, and leopards, which are harder to spot, while herbivores such as giraffes, wildebeest, and zebras are plentiful throughout the park.

  • Later, head to the Tarangire River picnic site and enjoy beautiful views of the river and animals while having lunch. Small monkeys and baboons may try to scare you away from your lunch, but there is nothing to worry about.

  • Proceed with another game drive after lunch.

  • Exit the park around 4:30 pm and begin the drive back to Arusha.
