Day1 From Zanzibar to Tarangire National Park Tarangire National Park

After your flight from Zanzibar, your safari begins in Tarangire National Park.

Wide savannahs and iconic baobab trees define the landscape. Along the Tarangire River, large elephant herds often gather, alongside a variety of plains game and birdlife.

On your first game drive, you may spot giraffes, zebras, and buffalo — with chances of predators resting in the shade as the day unfolds.

A steady introduction to safari life: open landscapes, abundant wildlife, and a smooth start to the journey ahead.

Today the journey continues into the Serengeti. Endless plains stretch into the distance, broken by kopjes and scattered acacia trees.
