Tarangire National Park Day Tour

Tarangire National Park Day Tour

In the early morning, you will be picked up from your hotel and driven to Tarangire National Park for a full day of game viewing.

Named after the river that flows through the park, Tarangire National Park is one of the lesser-known Tanzanian National Parks, giving it a real air of undiscovered Africa. Famous for its tree-climbing pythons, massive baobabs, and large herds of elephants, Tarangire National Park is small but still home to a significant wildlife population. The swamps, tinged green year round, are home to 550 bird varieties, the most breeding species in one habitat.

Herds of up to 300 elephants scratch the dry river bed for underground streams, while migratory wildebeest, zebras, buffalos, impalas, gazelles, hartebeests, and elands crowd the lagoons. The park has the greatest concentration of wildlife outside the Serengeti ecosystem - a smorgasbord for predators – and the one place in Tanzania where dry-country antelope such as the stately fringe-eared oryx and peculiar long-necked gerenuk are regularly observed.

You will enjoy a picnic lunch at one of the picnic sites in the park and proceed with an afternoon game drive safari. Towards the evening, your driver guide will drive you back to Arusha, dropping you off at your hotel.
