Life on Safari
You will be picked up from your accommodation in Arusha and head to Tarangire National Park in the Manyara region. The park’s name originates from the Tarangire River, which crosses it.
The 6th-largest national park in Tanzania, covering 2,600 square kilometers, Tarangire is best known for its large elephant herds. It is usually very dry, in fact, drier than the Serengeti. However, its vegetation is much greener, with lots of grass, vast areas of mixed acacia woodlands, and some wonderful ribbons of aquatic forest. Also, don’t forget the giant baobab trees, which can live up to 600 years and store between 300 and 900 liters of water.

During the great migration, a million wildebeest, each one driven by the same ancient rhythm, fulfill their instinctive role in the inescapable cycle of life in the frenzied 3-week bout of territorial conquests and mating.

"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."
