Day 1
Zanzibar – Tarangire National Park

Your journey begins with a morning flight from Zanzibar to Arusha, where you will be warmly welcomed by your professional safari driver/guide. After a brief introduction, you will set off on a picturesque 2–3 hour drive to Tarangire National Park, famous for its vast baobab-studded landscapes and the largest elephant herds in northern Tanzania.

Upon arrival, enjoy a picnic lunch within the park and then embark on an exciting afternoon game drive. Explore Tarangire’s diverse ecosystems, where you may encounter elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, and an array of bird species. As the sun begins to dip, exit the park and head to your midrange lodge or tented camp for the evening. Here, you’ll enjoy a warm dinner and a peaceful night in the bush.

Enjoy a scenic picnic lunch inside the crater, surrounded by dramatic landscapes and dense wildlife populations.
