In the morning, we will collect you from our lodge in Arusha with our safari guide greeting you with a broad smile in anticipation of our coming adventures. The drive to Tarangire is on a good tarmac road that takes us across gently rolling Maasai plains with scattered acacia trees. As we zip along we’ll pass many Maasais in their colourful attire walking on the roadside, riding bicycles, herding cattle, and driving donkeys carts.
Tarangire, well known for its large elephant herds, is a diverse landscape of seasonal swamps, savanna and the life-giving Tarangire River which wends its’ way through the park. From the open roof of the vehicle, we will seek out the myriad animals that inhabit here including zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, elephant and giraffe. It is possible we’ll glimpse Simba stalking his prey or leopard relaxing in the trees. After an extensive game drive, we’ll leave the park and head for our nearby lodge where we’ll enjoy dinner and relaxation in our quarters awaiting us.

It is known for its large variety of wildlife, including the “Big Five” – lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and leopard. Recognised as one of the world’s wonders. It is truly magnificent.
In addition to the Big Five, the various springs attract animals such as wildebeest, gazelles, reedbucks and more than 500 bird species.
