Your adventure begins with a morning pick-up from Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) or Arusha, followed by a scenic drive to Tarangire National Park. As you enter the park, the first thing you’ll notice is the majestic baobab trees dotting the landscape. These ancient trees provide shelter for animals and create a unique African backdrop. Tarangire is often called the Elephant Paradise, boasting some of Tanzania’s largest elephant herds. The Tarangire River, a year-round water source, attracts a variety of wildlife, making this park a fantastic introduction to your safari.

After an exciting first day, you will check into Tarangire Sopa Lodge, where you can unwind and enjoy a delicious dinner before your next adventure.
