Travel Itinerary
Welcome to Tanzania! A Lappet Faced Safaris representative will pick you up from the airport and drive you to your accommodation in Arusha. Depending on your arrival time, you will have time to relax and prepare for the adventure of a lifetime! Busy Arusha is anessential part of safari life here in northern Tanzania, and most travelers pass through at some stage.

The transit drive is approximately two and a half hours on good tarmac roads. The park is named after the TarangireRiver, which runs through it. This 'river of warthogs' is the region's only water source for wildlife during the dry season. The park is well-known for its elephant families, which can often be seen congregating by the river. You may also see giraffes, bushbuck, and hartebeest. A range of predators, including lions and leopards, closely follows these animals. More breeding bird species are found in Tarangire than anywhere else on the planet! The huge and ancient baobab trees can be seen here—some are said to have lived for over a thousand years.
