After a hearty breakfast at your hotel, you will hop in a customized safari vehicle and be transferred to the phenomenal Tarangire National Park with your packed lunch. Renowned for its ancient baobab trees, massive elephant herds and quality predator sightings, it’s not hard to appreciate Tarangire as a popular stage in Tanzania’s Northern Safari Circuit.

Boasting over 550 avian species – the highest number of breeding species found in a single habitat anywhere in the world – Tarangire commands attention from avid bird-watchers. Notable sightings include the Kori Bustard, the world’s heaviest flying bird, and the yellow-collared lovebird.

The Tarangire River, often considered the park’s lifeline, flows through the landscape, drawing a diverse array of wildlife, including Thomson’s gazelle, wildebeest, fringe-eared oryx, long-necked gerenuk, giraffe, buffalo, and elephants. This is especially true during the dry season between June and October when the relentless sun drains moisture from the land, turning the earth a dusty red and leaving the brittle grass as fragile as straw.

In the afternoon, you retreat to a designated picnic area for lunch, and continue your game drive. Leave Tarangire in the early evening for Mto wa Mbu where you’ll check-in at your lodge for a relaxing evening and dinner.
