Tanzania Safari Itinerary
to
TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK

Day 1   TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK

1400 hrs: Collected from Arusha Town Centre and driven to Tarangire National Park (140 kms/3 hrs)

The 2600 sq. km Tarangire National Park, named after the Tarangire River, which rises from the central Tanzania highlands, is most famous for its gigantic elephants and towering baobab trees. The park boasts over 500 birds species including Kori bastard and ostriches and the park’s pythons climb trees, just like the leopards
During the dry season months from August to October, when the grass dries up in most of the park, herds of up to 300 elephants congregate along the Tarangire River scratching its dry river bed for underground streams, while migratory wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, impala, gazelle, hartebeest and eland crowd the shrinking lagoons. It's the greatest concentration of wildlife outside the Serengeti ecosystem - a feast for the predators – and the only place in Tanzania where dry-country antelope such as the stately fringe-eared oryx and the long-necked gerenuk are regularly seen. These thirsty nomads have wandered hundreds of kilometers for this water.

With game viewing en-route, you arrive at Tarangire Sopa Lodge www.sopalodges.com in time for dinner.

Tarangire Sopa Lodge is built in a wooded hillside valley overlooking Tarangire Hill in the 2600 sq. km Tarangire National Park, 120 kms from Arusha, the Tanzania tourist hub town. The lodge enjoys magnificent views over the baobab-studded landscape. All the en-suite bed rooms are equipped with modern facilities including two queen sized beds in each room. Other lodge facilities include fountains and waterfalls in the public areas and a magnificent swimming pool complete with a natural rock island at its center. The lodge offers fabulous open air lunches and bar be ques by the swimming that are unforgettable.
