The itinerary

Day 01

Moshi to Arusha National Park Safari

After breakfast, you'll depart from your Arusha or Moshi accommodations and drive to the park. After entering the park, you will embark on a game drive. Your drive will take you past park landmarks such as the Momella Lakes and Ngurdoto Crater, sometimes known as "Little Ngorongoro".
Your safari vehicle will also go under the fig tree (Ficus thonningii), whose roots have grown to form an arch large enough for a safari car - even elephant-sized - to pass underneath. You may stop, get out of the car, and take pictures. During lunch, you will stop at a picnic site where you will have your meal before proceeding with the game drive. At around four, you will begin leaving the national park for Arusha, where you will spend the night.

Day 02

Tarangire National Park Safari and Return to Moshi or Arusha

After an early breakfast, we head to Tarangire National Park. In 1970, the national park emerged from a former colonial hunting ground. It has a very diverse animal world, not least because of its size, which corresponds approximately to Luxembourg.
The park is home to one of the largest elephant populations in northern Tanzania and also shelters many other wild animals. With some luck, you can spot lions, cheetahs, or leopards. The landscape of the park is very diverse. Especially impressive are the huge baobab trees located close together in the northeastern sector of the park. In the late afternoon, you will return to Moshi with many impressions of your safari.
