This four-day safari adventure begins with your arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, where you will be warmly greeted by your guide. After a brief introduction and assistance with your luggage, you will be transferred to Arusha, a bustling city known as the gateway to Tanzania’s northern safari circuit. Here, you will have some time to relax and enjoy a meal before embarking on your journey into the wild.

After your time in Arusha, you'll set off for Tarangire National Park, which is about a two-hour drive away. As you travel, you’ll be treated to picturesque views of the Tanzanian countryside, including rolling hills and lush landscapes. Upon entering Tarangire, you will embark on your first game drive.

Once inside, your afternoon game drive will begin, allowing you to explore the vast savannahs and search for the “Big Five”: lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes, and rhinos.
