Tarangire Day Trip
About the Tarangire National Park Day Trip
This day trip takes you to Tarangire National Park, renowned for its large elephant population and impressive ancient baobab trees. Expect to see plenty of elephants, along with a variety of other wildlife that calls the park home.
The day begins with an early morning departure from Arusha (or Moshi), followed by a two-hour drive directly to Tarangire National Park.
You’ll travel in a spacious 4×4 Land Cruiser with a pop-up roof, providing 360-degree views of the landscape. During your game drive, you may encounter animals such as lions, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, warthogs, impalas, cheetahs, mongooses, buffalo, baboons, ostriches, and, with luck, even a leopard lounging in a tree. There is no shortage of wildlife waiting to be spotted!
Tarangire is especially famous for its elephant herds. You may see large family groups, bachelor herds, or female-led groups with adorable babies, all under the leadership of a matriarch. You might also catch sight of a lone bull elephant roaming the park.
Midway through the day, we’ll take a lunch break at a scenic spot with beautiful views over the park. Keep an eye on your lunch, as curious monkeys may want to share it!
After lunch, we’ll head out for another game drive to spot any animals we may have missed earlier, aiming to check off as many wildlife sightings as possible. By the end of the day, we’ll prepare for the return journey to Arusha.
