Tour Itinerary
Day 1: Arusha to Tarangire National Park
Your adventure starts early in the morning when you are picked up from your hotel in Arusha. You will meet your group and your safari guide, who will brief you about the trip. Then, you will drive to Tarangire National Park, which is known for its large herds of elephants and giant baobab trees that dot the landscape. Upon arrival, you will begin your first game drive, exploring the park’s diverse wildlife. You can expect to see lions resting in the shade, giraffes browsing on treetops, zebras grazing, and many colorful birds. Your guide will stop regularly to explain what you see and help you take photos. In the late afternoon, you will arrive at your campsite. Your tent will either be set up for you or you may help pitch it, depending on the group style. Dinner will be served around the campfire or in a dining tent, where you can enjoy local and international dishes while sharing stories with your fellow travelers. The night sounds of the wilderness make camping here a memorable experience.
• Accommodation: Comfortable camping tents at the campsite inside or near Tarangire National Park.
• Meals: Lunch and dinner included, with tea or coffee served during meals.
Day 2: Tarangire National Park to Lake Manyara National Park
After an early breakfast, you will set out on a morning game drive to catch the animals when they are most active. The cooler hours are the best time to spot predators hunting or animals drinking water. After a rewarding game drive, you return to camp to pack up. Then, you drive to Lake Manyara National Park, famous for its beautiful lake filled with thousands of pink flamingos and its unique tree-climbing lions. You will enjoy an afternoon game drive around the park, seeing elephants near the lake, hippos wallowing in the water, and baboons playing in the forest. The park’s mix of dense forest, open plains, and water creates a perfect home for many animals. In the evening, you reach your campsite near Lake Manyara, where dinner will be served under the stars.
• Accommodation: Camping tents at the Lake Manyara National Park campsite.
• Meals: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner provided.
Day 3: Lake Manyara National Park to Arusha
On your final day, you will wake up early for one last morning game drive in Lake Manyara National Park. Early mornings here offer fantastic chances to see animals that are less active during the day, such as leopards or birds starting their day. After the game drive, you return to camp for breakfast and pack up your things. Then, you begin the drive back to Arusha or Moshi. On the way, you will stop for lunch at a local restaurant or picnic spot, giving you a chance to relax and enjoy your last meal in the safari style. You will be dropped off at your hotel or a convenient location in the early afternoon, marking the end of your safari adventure.
• Accommodation: None (camping ends after day 3).
• Meals: Breakfast and lunch included.
