Tarangire Private Day Safari from Arusha with Lunch

Skip the crowded group tours and see Tarangire your way on a private day safari from Arusha. You get your own 4x4 Land Cruiser with a pop-up roof and a local driver-guide who knows where the animals are, so you set the pace and stop as long as you like for photos.

Tarangire is known as the land of giants. It has some of the biggest elephant herds in Tanzania, often 100 or more gathered along the river, plus ancient baobab trees that are hundreds of years old. You also have a good chance of spotting lions, leopards, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffalo and over 500 bird species.

After morning pickup from your Arusha hotel, it is about a 2-hour drive to the park. You spend the full day on game drives with a picnic lunch at a scenic spot inside the park, then head back to Arusha in the late afternoon. Park entrance fees, lunch and bottled water are all included, so there are no surprise costs on the day.
