Day 1 Welcome to Tanzania

Upon your arrival, you will find our company representative at the airport waiting for you with the special board with your name written on it.

He will drive you directly to your accommodation in Arusha to relax and get ready for your next day's Safari. On the way, he will explain different things about our beautiful country and peaceful people.

Main Destination:Arusha (City)
Accommodation:Tulia Boutique Hotel & Spa

Day 2 Arusha National Park

At Arusha National Park, you shouldn't anticipate the same level of game viewing as they would in one of Tanzania's other northern circuit national parks.

Despite the park's modest size, it is home to a variety of African wildlife, including giraffes, Cape buffaloes, zebras, warthogs, blue monkeys, black and white colobus monkeys, elephants, and many others. Although they exist, leopard and lion populations are rarely seen. After a morning game drive, you'll be accompanied by an armed ranger on a waking safari in the reserve.

You will also have the chance to see different species of birds. You will be with a photographer and take good pictures.

The sights and sounds (and smells) of a walking safari are a special treat that will live long in your memory.

Main Destination:Arusha National Park

Day 3 Tarangire National Park

We will pick you up from your hotel at 7:30 am where the guide, chef, and photographer will meet you. You will go on the 2-hour drive to Tarangire National Park, which is famous for its diverse landscape. The park is particularly known for its abundance of ancient baobab trees and having the largest concentration of elephants in the country. It provides unique chances to observe the interaction between elephant families. You will do a game drive through the park, depending on where there are reported sightings of animals (mostly predators and herbivores).

Later on, you will go to the Tarangire River picnic site and enjoy the beautiful view of the river and animals while having lunch. Small monkeys and baboons will try to scare you off your lunch, but you don't have anything to worry about. After lunch, you will proceed with the game drive and exit the park around 4:30 pm.
