Overview
About This Safari
This 2-day safari from Zanzibar takes you by fly-in into Tanzania’s Northern Circuit to Tarangire National Park.
Two days, one park – what to expect:
Tarangire National Park – large elephant herds and iconic baobabs in classic savanna scenery
Game drives across open plains and along river courses, with chances to see lions, giraffes, and zebra
More time in the park instead of a long route, ideal for focused wildlife viewing
The route is intentionally compact: a short journey in, private game drives, and two full safari days in one of northern Tanzania’s most atmospheric landscapes — ideal if you want to experience the wilderness without moving between multiple parks.
Best for: A great safari experience with minimal driving time

1 Day 1 Tarangire National Park - Elephants and Baobab Landscapes Serian Tarangire camp / Lunch, Dinner
After your flight to Arusha, your safari begins in Tarangire National Park. Wide savannas, towering baobab trees, and the Tarangire River shape the scenery.
During your first game drive, you may encounter elephant families, giraffes, zebras, and buffalo; with some luck, lions appear near the river or resting in the shade of acacias.
A picnic stop and warm afternoon light between baobabs and river landscapes make for an atmospheric start.

An early start brings you back into the park. In the cooler hours, wildlife is especially active: elephants gather along the riverbanks, giraffes move between umbrella acacias, and predators patrol the open plains.
The landscape shifts between open savannas, dry riverbeds, and clusters of baobabs.
Later, you return to Arusha for your flight back to Zanzibar — two focused days in the heart of Tarangire.
