Day 01

Arusha to Tarangire National Park Safari

You will be picked up in the morning, and after a short briefing, you will head off toward Tarangire National Park. The park, with its savannah, baobab trees, and seasonal swamps, is home to huge elephant herds.

Animals gather at the life-giving Tarangire River, and you should see a selection of mammals ranging from giraffes, bushbucks, and hartebeests to zebras and warthogs. The park is also home to buffalo, zebra, and wildebeest, which are always closely followed by a range of predators such as lions. Leopards are seen now and then, but cheetahs are rarely spotted.

From the open roof of the safari vehicle, you will be able to absorb the landscape and watch the animals. In the late afternoon, you will leave the park and head to the nearby Kizumba campsite to spend the night.

Another big drawcard to this picturesque national park is its huge predator population, including lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard on the crater floor.
