    Your safari begins early with a drive from Arusha to Tarangire National Park, passing through Maasai villages and open countryside. Upon arrival at the park gate, you’ll complete entry formalities before starting your first game drive through the park’s expansive terrain.

    Morning game drives offer excellent opportunities to spot elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, buffaloes, and various antelope species. Predators such as lions and leopards may also be seen resting in shaded areas, while the cooler temperatures keep wildlife active.

    After lunch, the game drive continues through different sections of the park, exploring baobab-dotted landscapes and wildlife-rich corridors. Bird enthusiasts will appreciate Tarangire’s impressive birdlife, with over 500 species recorded, including colorful bee-eaters, hornbills, and raptors.
