Early Morning: Departure from Arusha

Your safari begins with an early 6:00 AM pick-up from your hotel in Arusha. Meet your professional safari guide from Kishapui Africa Adventures and depart in a comfortable 4×4 safari vehicle equipped with a pop-up roof for optimal wildlife viewing and photography.

The drive to Tarangire National Park takes approximately 2.5–3 hours, passing through Maasai villages, rolling plains, and picturesque countryside. Along the way, enjoy views of Mount Meru and sections of the Great Rift Valley.

Mid-Morning: Game Drive in Tarangire National Park

Upon arrival at Tarangire National Park, your guide will take care of park entry procedures before you begin an exciting game drive. The park’s landscape opens into vast grasslands, acacia woodlands, and towering baobab trees that create a dramatic safari setting.

Tarangire is especially famous for its elephant population, and sightings of large herds are common. You may also encounter:

• Giraffes browsing on acacia trees
• Zebras, wildebeest, and buffaloes grazing on the plains
• Predators such as lions, leopards, and cheetahs
• Rare antelope species including greater kudu and fringe-eared oryx

Midday: Picnic Lunch in the Park

At around midday, you will pause for a picnic lunch at a designated scenic spot inside the park, often near the Tarangire River. This river serves as a vital water source for wildlife and attracts animals throughout the day.

While enjoying lunch, you may observe:

• Elephants drinking or cooling off along the riverbanks
• Hippos resting in the water
• Colorful birdlife such as lilac-breasted rollers, lovebirds, and ostriches

Early Afternoon: Continued Game Drives

After lunch, continue exploring different sections of the park on further game drives. The Tarangire River corridor is particularly active, especially during the dry season, offering excellent wildlife sightings.

With your guide’s expert tracking skills, you may spot elusive leopards resting in trees or cheetahs scanning the plains for prey, as well as many other animals going about their daily routines.

Late Afternoon: Return to Arusha

In the late afternoon, you will exit the park and begin the return journey to Arusha, arriving at your hotel or preferred drop-off point at around 6:30 PM.

This concludes your memorable 1-day Tarangire National Park safari, leaving you with incredible wildlife encounters and lasting safari memories.
