Day 01

Arusha to Tarangire National Park Safari

Tarangire National Park is named after the Tarangire River, the only water source for wildlife in the region during the dry season. Unlike other northern safari destinations, the park is home to diverse vegetation and a very large concentration of wildlife, including some of Africa's largest animal species and hundreds of bird species.

Established in 1970, Tarangire National Park is most famous for its diverse wildlife, vegetation, birds, tree-climbing African pythons, and iconic baobab trees. Apart from game viewing, it is also one of the best bird-watching destinations, and visitors can also engage in cultural visits and nature walks. After the game drive, you will enjoy your lunch box inside the park.

Other wildlife found here includes zebra, hippo, wildebeest, hyena, and more. Birdlife includes flamingoes on the soda lake, geese, storks, vultures, and many others. Your lunch will be served at the picnic site in the crater at Ngoitoktok Swamp, a hippo pool.
