Life on Safari
After breakfast at your hotel in Arusha, you will be picked up from your hotel, and you will begin your safari journey from Arusha to Tarangire National Park. Known for its abundant wildlife, Tarangire is especially vibrant during the Dry season from June to September, when thousands of animals such as wildebeest, buffalo, and oryx migrate from the dry Maasai plains to the Tarangire River in search of water. Predators like lions and leopards closely follow these herds. The park also hosts over 500 bird species. Enjoy lunch and continue with a late afternoon game drive, then head to Suricata Boma Lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

"Our guide Emmanuel was incredible — he spotted a leopard and two lion cubs that three other vehicles completely missed. The most magical experience of our lives."
"The private setup meant we could spend 45 minutes with a cheetah and cubs without feeling rushed. The lodges were far beyond what we expected."
"As first-time safari travelers, we were nervous. From the moment we arrived, Serengeti African Tours took care of everything. The Ngorongoro Crater literally took our breath away."
"Booked through SafariBookings and couldn't be happier. Every detail was handled perfectly. Guide Abouh is extraordinary — his knowledge of wildlife is encyclopaedic."
