Itinerary

1. Day 1: Tarangire National Park

   • We depart today for Tarangire Park with packed lunch, passing through open plains south of Arusha town.
   • During the dry season from May to October, Tarangire has the greatest concentration of wildlife outside the Serengeti ecosystem. Its wetlands in the southeast portion of the park support over 300 varieties of birds. With fewer tourists than other parks, Tarangire’s rolling savannah dotted with thousands of baobab and acacia trees offers a great chance to enjoy Africa’s wilderness and solitude. 
   • Enjoy a full day game drive, dinner, and overnight Nsya Lodge and Campsite or similar campsite.
