Day-by-Day Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival & Afternoon Game Drive in Tarangire
You will be picked up early from your accommodation in Arusha (or your specified start point) and driven to Tarangire National Park. After park entry, enjoy your first game drive across sweeping savannas and along the Tarangire River, where animals gather—ideal for spotting elephants, zebra, buffalo, impala, and lion. After a midday lunch at your budget lodge or camp inside/near the park, rest briefly, then head back into the park for a late-afternoon drive. As dusk falls, catch dramatic golden-hour wildlife scenes before returning to camp for dinner, a night around the fire, and overnight in basic lodging.
Day 2: Early Morning Game Drive & Return
Rise before dawn for an early morning game drive, when predators are most active and wildlife moves to water sources. Sweep across parts of Tarangire you didn’t explore on Day 1 and revisit the riverbanks to catch hippos, crocodiles, and abundant birdlife. Return to camp for breakfast, then check out and embark on a final short drive en route back to Arusha. On the way, drop you off at your hotel or airport. Your 2 Days Tarangire Park Budget Tour concludes in the afternoon, leaving you with lasting wildlife memories.
