Program 1 day Tarangire from Arusha

A game drive in this beautiful park, observing elephants, near the (dry bedding of the) river. Drive to Larmaku Swamp, a large swamp where you can find elephants and other animals, cooling down in the water and sheltering for the sun in the shadow of the acacia trees. You may also be lucky enough to spot a giant tree-climbing python in the acacia woodlands. Leopards are common in Tarangire but difficult to spot as they tend to sleep in the trees throughout the day. Regarding encountering wildlife we can not guarantee anything, but the chance that you will see large herds of elephants in this park is 99,9%.

Kampeersafari
Wat een fantastische kampeervakantie hebben we gehad met gids Warren. Hij weet alle goede plekken om de dieren te zien te vinden, zonder de menigte van de overige parkbezoekers. En zijn oom was mee als kok, wat hebben we heerlijk gegeten ook nog! Een

Prachtige eerste safari trip!
Ik deelde met 5 Nederlanders een eerste safari in de Noordelijke parken. Onze gids Herry deed prachtig werk! Door zijn uitstekende ervaring zagen we de big five! Hij zorgde steeds voor mooie plaatsen op de eerste rij om de wilde dieren te bewonderen!

A dream fulfilled!
Chris was very attentive and was a good spotter of animals. As a result I managed to see the Big 5. My wife had an incident with her luggage and Chris assisted after hours. Highly recommended!!
