Life on Safari
After an early breakfast at your hotel in Arusha, your guide will pick you up and begin your journey to Tarangire National Park, famously known as the “Land of Giants.”
You will drive across endless golden savannah landscapes that stretch along the Tarangire River. The park is well known for its large elephant herds and iconic baobab trees that dominate the scenery.
Enjoy a picnic lunch at a scenic riverside site while taking in the stunning views. Be mindful of monkeys that may attempt to grab unattended food.
In the late afternoon, continue with game viewing before heading to your lodge for dinner and 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."
