When to go & how it flows
Year-round subject to weather, access and lodge operation.
Day 1 is arrival and rest; Day 2 visits one park. Arusha National Park offers the shortest transfers. Tarangire and Manyara involve longer road journeys. Choose an extra night if you want a relaxed onward departure. Ends at your chosen Arusha hotel; a room that night, dinner and onward airport transfer are not included. Ask for a reviewed flight connection or an extra Arusha night.

Day 2
Lake Manyara National Park
