Your safari begins with an early morning departure from Arusha, heading towards Tarangire National Park. Known as Tanzania’s elephant capital, Tarangire boasts impressive herds numbering in the hundreds during dry season. The park’s iconic baobab trees dot the landscape as you embark on your first game drive, searching for lions, leopards, and the park’s famous tree-climbing pythons. After a full day exploring the diverse ecosystems, we retire to our comfortable campsite near the park boundary, where our team prepares a delicious bush dinner under the stars.
