    Your journey will start from Zanzibar Airport in the morning, flying to Arusha. Upon arrival, you will meet your driver-guide, who will be waiting for you, ready for an unforgettable Tanzania safari. After a briefing from your tour guide, your safari to Tarangire National Park will start. The name of the park originates from the Tarangire River that crosses through the park, which is the only source of water for the wild animals here during the Dry season. The park is famous for its large numbers of elephants, baobab trees, and tree-climbing African pythons. You will have a picnic lunch inside Tarangire. Continue enjoying the wildlife diversity until evening, then start a journey to your lodge for relaxation, dinner, and an overnight stay at Suricata Boma Lodge.

Also, it has a dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, leopards, and black rhinos, which are sometimes difficult to spot. You will enjoy a picnic lunch in the crater. Later, you'll drive to Arusha Airport to catch your flight back to Zanzibar.
