Itinerary

DAY 1ARUSHA CITY TO TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK

Today, the driver-guide will pick you up from Arusha with picnic lunch boxes and hold a quick briefing before we depart to Tarangire National Park entrée gate. Upon arrival at the gate, you will patiently wait for the permits formalities to be issued and registrations. Here you will witness the hustle and bustle of the driver-guides with their safari vehicles rushing to enter the park. It is a perfect time to make a quick short call before the safari begins.

Once the permits are sorted, you will enter the park for the game drive. Tarangire National Park is a lovely quiet park in Northern Tanzania famous for the abundance of age-old baobabs and big families of elephants gathering in the vicinity of the main water source – the Tarangire River. Besides baby elephants and their parents, the Tarangire park is home to zebras, giraffes, hyenas, wart-hogs, buffalos and many other predators and ungulates. The park will also be a treat for bird enthusiasts. More than 550 bird species abiding in the Tarangire National Park present ample opportunity for bird watching: brightly plumaged yellow necked spurfowls, white crowned shrikes and black necked weavers are among the most frequent sightings here. Late afternoon we drive to the lodge/camp for evening leisure, dinner and overnight.

DAY 2FULL DAY IN TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK

Today you enjoy a full day game drive in Tarangire National Park. With the help of your private driver guide, you will decide your schedule as you wish. Remember that the flexibility of having your private guide and private vehicle during a safari shows itself when you want to spend more time following a particular animal in its natural, undisturbed habitat, or when you want to lazy around a bit as you wait for the sun to engulf the horizon with its violet and fire colors or perhaps venture into a sunrise game drive to catch the memories of a morning safari with freshly made coffee and an endless horizon. Your private guide will tailor the experience to accommodate your major interest and passion for the day. If you like to watch wildlife from another perspective, we recommend you to go on a balloon safari. A balloon flight over Tarangire National Park will give you an aerial view of one of Africa’s most beautiful wildlife area. The Tarangire landscape is a diverse mix of granite ridges, river valleys and swamps. Vegetation is a mix of Acacia woodland, grasslands and the thousands of Baobab trees which are dotted throughout the park. It is an amazing experience to drift silently above the plains with herds of wildlife.
