Day one · Into Tarangire

Into the Land of Giants

Your journey begins with an early morning departure from Arusha, travelling across the Maasai plains towards Tarangire National Park. Towering baobab trees gradually replace open farmland as you enter one of Tanzania’s most elephant-rich ecosystems. Enjoy your first afternoon game drive searching for large elephant herds, graceful giraffes, zebras, wildebeest and the predators that quietly patrol the riverbanks before arriving at camp for dinner beneath the African sky.
