Your safari begins with a morning departure from Arusha travelling towards Tarangire National Park.

Tarangire is particularly famous for its elephants and diverse wildlife. Depending on the season and location, you may encounter elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffaloes, impalas, lions, and numerous bird species. The Tarangire River and surrounding wetlands can attract large concentrations of wildlife, especially during the dry season.
