Itinerary – Tarangire National Park 1 Day Trip Adventure
Your adventure begins early in the morning with a hotel pick-up from Arusha or Moshi. Driving through Tanzania’s picturesque landscapes, you’ll reach Tarangire National Park after about 2.5–3 hours.
Upon entering the park, your game drive begins immediately, with plenty of opportunities to spot elephants, zebras, wildebeest, giraffes, buffalo, and predators like lions or leopards. The park’s beauty lies in its variety of habitats—from open grasslands to thick acacia woodlands and seasonal swamps.
Midday, you’ll pause for a picnic lunch at one of the scenic picnic sites, often overlooking the river or a wildlife hotspot where elephants and other animals gather to drink. After lunch, the safari continues, exploring deeper into the park and following the Tarangire River, which acts as the main lifeline for wildlife during the dry season.
