Your adventure begins with an early morning pickup from your hotel in Arusha, usually around 6:30–7:00 AM. First, you meet your professional safari guide and depart for Tarangire National Park. On arrival, you complete the park entry formalities. Then your full-day game drive begins.
In particular, Tarangire is famous for its impressive elephant population and enormous baobab trees. During the game drive, your guide searches carefully for wildlife. Your guide also explains the animals, plants and ecosystem you see along the way.
- Depending on the season and wildlife movements, you may see African elephants, lions, leopards, giraffes, zebras and African buffaloes.
- You may also spot warthogs, wildebeest, impalas and other antelopes.
- In addition, look out for hippos in suitable areas and numerous bird species.
Around lunchtime, you enjoy a packed safari lunch at a designated picnic area, surrounded by the park’s natural beauty. After lunch, an afternoon game drive takes you to different parts of Tarangire, so you can search for more wildlife and great photo opportunities.
Later in the afternoon, you begin the journey back to Arusha. Finally, you arrive in the late afternoon or early evening, and your safari ends with a drop-off at your hotel or another agreed location.
