Day 2: Drive from Arusha to Tarangire National Park

We believe that you arrived in Tanzania the previous day and that you have already settled in Arusha. Remember that we also organize the airport transfers and accommodation bookings in Arusha City. Therefore, on this day, early in the morning, you will meet both the safari planner and our driver guide, who will brief you on the itinerary before you embark on your journey to Tarangire National Park through Arusha Town to do some shopping. After 2 to 3 hours of traveling on the Great Northern Highway and through Masai grasslands and small settlements, we arrive at Tarangire and immediately begin the game drive. The journey to Tarangire Gate takes you across the Masai Steppe and various villages. Tarangire National Park, located at the base of the Great East African Rift Valley, is Tanzania’s fifth-largest national park and is characterized by steep hills and low ground characterized by acacia forests and massive baobab trees that dwarf certain animal species that come under it, and it runs between the lines of the Tarangire River.

The park also features a permanent water source from the river Tarangire, which moves from the north to the south. Apart from the river, there is also a swamp, which all provide the perfect conditions for the animals that do reside within the park. The park’s massive elephant population and three rare species of Great Kudu (Fringed Eared Oryx, Ash Stalling) are among its notable features. Buffalo, zebra, wildebeest, warthog, hippos, giraffe, and a slew of baboons and monkeys are among the animals you may expect to see.

Visitors will encounter various predators that call Tarangire National Park their home. Predators such as lions, hyenas, jackals, and leopards can easily be seen in Tarangire National Park. For birders, Tarangire National Park is the best destination for you to enjoy this wonderful safari. The park hosts more than 400 species of birds, and these include, among other things, herons, ostriches, secretary birds, and other wonderful migratory birds. After the game drive, you will drive back to your booked lodge through the spectacular scenes of the Great East African Rift Valley.
