Day 01

Arusha to Tarangire National Park Safari

• Begin your adventure with a pick-up from your hotel in Arusha after breakfast and head to Tarangire National Park. Tarangire is the third-largest national park in Tanzania and is known throughout the world for its dense population of herbivores and large herds of elephants. The park's lifeblood is the Tarangire River, which bisects the park. This river is also where many animals, both predators and prey, gather, providing an excellent game-viewing opportunity for all travellers.
• Once you are done with the day-long safari, head to Mto wa Mbu Public Campsite for a shower, dinner, and an overnight stay. Enjoy a full-board meal.
