Overview
An early morning departure from Arusha (around 7:00–8:00 AM), a drive to the park, a full day of game drives searching for elephants and other wildlife, a picnic lunch in the park, and a late afternoon return to Arusha (around 6:00 PM). The itinerary focuses on game drives to see Tarangire’s famous elephants, baobab trees, and diverse bird life, with time to relax and enjoy lunch amidst the wilderness.
Highlights
- Predators: Look for tree-climbing lions, leopards, and cheetahs.
- Birds: Tarangire is a premier birding destination with over 550 species, including yellow-collared lovebirds, hornbills, and African fish eagles.
- Walking safaris: Guided walks are offered for a closer look at smaller details and animal tracks. This is best done during the dry season to avoid mud and fewer tsetse flies.
- Hot air balloon safaris: An early morning balloon ride provides stunning aerial views of the park, followed by a bush breakfast, often with a champagne toast.
