Itinerary (Day-by-Day)

Day 1: Arusha → Tarangire National Park → Sunset Game Drive

On Day 1, we pick you up in Arusha or at your Kilimanjaro Airport hotel early morning and drive toward Tarangire National Park, passing rural villages and rolling farmland. Upon arrival, enjoy a welcome brunch, then embark on an immersive afternoon game drive through the park’s iconic baobab-studded plains. Tarangire is renowned for its spectacular elephant herds and abundant wildlife—expect to see lions, zebras, buffaloes, giraffes, and a diversity of antelopes. As evening approaches, we execute a sunset game drive in search of nocturnal creatures, before heading to your lodge or luxury tented camp for dinner, storytelling under the stars, and overnight stay.

Day 2: Early Morning Safari → Optional Walk → Departure

Day 2 begins before dawn with a morning game drive — wildlife is most active at first light, offering opportunities to spot predators on the hunt or herds grazing quietly. Return to camp for a fresh breakfast, then enjoy a mid-morning walking safari (optional) led by your guide to explore the bush on foot, learn about smaller species, tracks, and the ecosystem. After, we take one more drive through lesser-traveled tracks for final sightings. Around midday, enjoy a picnic lunch inside the park, then depart Tarangire and transfer you back to Arusha or onward to your next destination. This compact but immersive 2-day itinerary ensures maximum wildlife exposure in minimal time.
