Day 1

Arusha - Tarangire National Park

The safari starts from Arusha where your guide will come and pick you up from your reserved hotel and proceed to Tarangire National Park for a game drive with a picnic lunch.

The name of the park originates from the Tarangire River that crosses through the park, which is the only source of water for the wild animals here during the dry season. The park is famous for its large numbers of elephants, baobab trees and tree-climbing African pythons.

You will spot great herds of buffalos, smaller groups of elephants and giraffes, and thousands of elands, topis, kongonis, impalas and Grant’s gazelles.

The word Serengeti stems from the Maasai language and means endless plains. Many predators roam these vast grasslands; over 4000 lions, 225 cheetahs, 1000 leopards, 3500 hyenas and hundreds of wild dogs!
