Your adventure begins with a delicious lunch in Arusha town where you’ll meet your expert guide for a brief orientation about the journey ahead. After lunch, you’ll set off on a scenic drive toward Tarangire National Park, traveling through picturesque Tanzanian landscapes. Upon arrival at the park, you’ll embark on your first game drive, immediately immersing yourself in the wilderness as you search for the park’s renowned wildlife. As the afternoon unfolds, you’ll have opportunities to spot elephants, giraffes, zebras, and perhaps even predators beginning their evening hunts. As dusk approaches, you’ll arrive at your comfortable lodge situated within the park, where you’ll check in and freshen up before enjoying a sumptuous dinner. The evening is yours to relax on the lodge’s viewing deck, share stories with fellow travelers, and fall asleep to the authentic sounds of the African bush.
Day 2: Tarangire National Park to Arusha
Wake up to the magical sounds of the wilderness as a new day dawns in Tarangire. After a quick coffee or tea, you’ll head out for an early morning game drive – the optimal time for wildlife viewing when animals are most active. Your guide will navigate the park’s diverse landscapes, focusing on areas where the famous tree-climbing lions might be spotted. Throughout the morning, you’ll witness the park’s staggering numbers of wildlife: herds of up to 30,000 zebra, 25,000 wildebeest, 5,000 buffalo, and around 3,000 elephants roaming the savannah. Keep your binoculars ready for sightings of the 2,500 Maasai giraffe and over 1,000 fringe-eared oryx that call this park home. Predator encounters may include lions, cheetahs, and the elusive leopard, while bird enthusiasts will delight in spotting endemic species like the ashy starling, rufous-tailed weaver, and black-collared lovebird. You’ll return to the lodge for a leisurely breakfast and some time to pack and reflect on your safari experiences.
