Focus on Tarangire with daytime wildlife viewing and one pre-booked night game drive. Stay inside the park after the evening outing, then return to Arusha the following day. This is the gentlest route in the collection because it avoids a second wildlife destination.

Ideal for travellers fitting a private safari into a short stay

What makes this journey special

  • Arrival and briefing in Arusha

When to go & how it flows

Year-round subject to weather, access and lodge operation.

This single-park option allows a rest before the night drive and a flexible return day. 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.

Private daytime road safari; the night outing may be shared.

  2. Day 2

    Tarangire day and night safari

    After breakfast, drive to Tarangire National Park and enjoy wildlife viewing on the way to Tarangire Safari Lodge, with lunch arranged to fit the route. Reach the lodge with time to rest. After dark, join the pre-booked night game drive on an authorised route, looking for nocturnal wildlife. Return to the lodge to sleep; dinner timing follows the confirmed activity schedule. Arusha to park gate: approximately 2-3 hours, followed by lodge transfer and wildlife stops. Allow roughly 1.5-2 hours for the night outing, subject to the operator-confirmed schedule. It is an evening activity, not an all-night drive. Overnight: Tarangire Safari Lodge. Meals: breakfast, lunch and dinner.
