A private one-day safari in Tarangire National Park, a hidden gem of Tanzania known for its large elephant herds and iconic baobab trees.

    Early-morning pick-up from your hotel in Arusha or Moshi and a 2–3 hour drive past Maasai villages and countryside.

Picnic lunch at a designated site in the park, then an afternoon drive in other areas with a higher chance of predators. In the late afternoon, drive back to your hotel in Arusha or Moshi.
