DAY TRIP TO TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK FROM ARUSHA

Tour Overview :

Escape the city for an unforgettable wildlife adventure with a full-day safari to Tarangire National Park, one of Tanzania’s most spectacular and wildlife-rich parks.

Your day begins with an early morning hotel pickup in Arusha, followed by a scenic drive south to Tarangire. Upon arrival, you’ll embark on an exciting game drive across rolling savannah, ancient baobab landscapes, and acacia woodlands.

ITINERARY

Your day tour begins with your hotel pickup in the morning, and heading south to stunning Tarangire National Park. Arrive at the Tarangire National Park for game viewing. In the afternoon you will stop for a picnic lunch. Your afternoon game-drive will reveal all the wonders of Tarangire, a National Park often referred to as the ‘Elephant Playground’. Herds of up to 300 of these mighty mammals are sometimes seen in the park.

Serengeti may be better known, but Tarangire in the dry season easily rivals it for animal densities. As well as the herds of elephant Tarangire is home to buffalo, lion, wildebeest, zebra and gazelle while gerenuk and fringe-eared Oryx are ‘local specialties’. Lake Burungi’s marshy shores are the lure for these mammals and the waters attract many beautiful bird species, too.

Look out for giant kingfishers, hoopoes and the delightfully-named white-bellied go-away bird. Tarangire is noted for its splendid baobab trees, rolling savannah and acacia woodland. At the end of an inspiring afternoon amongst the wildlife, drive back to your hotel in Arusha.
