11-Day Tanzanian Safari with Zanzibar Extension

We’ll pick you up from your hotel at 8:00 am and take you to the stunning Tarangire National Park. Known for its diverse landscapes featuring nine unique vegetation zones, Tarangire is also home to ancient Baobab trees that dominate the scenery and dwarf the wildlife. The park boasts a vibrant ecosystem with a variety of animals, including lions, leopards, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, antelopes, and the highest concentration of elephants in the country. You’ll have the chance to observe elephant family interactions up close.

Lunch will be enjoyed at a scenic observatory overlooking the river, offering a fantastic opportunity to witness wildlife, possibly even a hunt. In the afternoon, we’ll embark on another game drive before heading to your camp.
