Itinerary

Arusha – Tarangire National Park

In the morning you will start your safari with a drive to the Tarangire National Park. The park covers an area of approximately 2,600 km². The landscape of savannah, seasonal swamps and giant baobab trees is home to Maasai giraffes, buffaloes, eland, and over 550 species of birds. But it is the elephants, Tarangire is famous for and the park, where herds of up to 300 animals roam, is probably one of the best places in East Africa to see them and to get close to these giant creatures.

The whole day will be spent on a game drive in the Serengeti. The areas that you visit will depend upon where the migrating herds are. During the short rainy season in November and December the herds move from the hills to the plains in the south. During the longer rainy season from April to June they return up north. The yearly trek is determined by the rainfalls and the location of the herds year to year but your guide will know where to find the animals and where to see them best.
