Day by day

Day 1

Arusha – Tarangire National Park: After breakfast, during your 6-Day Ultimate Big 5 Tanzania Lodge Safari experience, you will drive to Tarangire National Park, which is known for its large elephant herds. From the open roof of the vehicle, you will scan the seasonal swamps, Savannah, and Tarangire River in search of zebras, wildebeests, buffaloes, hartebeest, elephants, giraffes, waterbuck and reedbucks. With a bit of luck you will catch a glimpse of a lion stalking its prey or leopards lying lazily in the trees above. After an extensive game drive, having experienced the various sights and sounds of the wilderness, you will leave the park and then drive to lodge to overnight.
