1-Day Tarangire National Park Tour from Arusha Town
A transfer from the airport can be arranged for an extra cost.
We will pick you up from your hotel at Arusha at 06:30am and take you to a very special national park. Tarangire is famous for its diverse landscape with nine different vegetation zones. The park is particularly well-known for the abundance of ancient baobab trees (the largest trees on the continent), which fill the landscape and dwarf the animals next to them. The park's river attracts a large variety of wildlife, ranging from birds to lions, leopards, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, antelopes and, of course, elephants. In fact, the park has the largest concentration of elephants in the whole country and provides unique chances to observe the interaction between elephant families.
The lunch area is fascinating, boasting an observatory with amazing views of the river and wildlife. In the afternoon, we will do another game drive before returning to Arusha at around 5:00 to 6:00 pm. You will be dropped off at your hotel / home.
