Tarangire & Manyara: 2-Day Private Off-Peak Safari

Explore Tarangire and Lake Manyara on a 2-day private off-peak safari from Arusha or Moshi. Travel in a pop-up roof 4x4 with window seats and a local guide, at a relaxed pace with time for photos.
Day 1: Tarangire National Park

Begin your adventure with a pickup from your hotel in Arusha or Moshi in the early morning and drive to Tarangire National Park. Famous for its large elephant herds, giant ancient baobab trees, and the Tarangire River, the park attracts wildlife all year round.

Embark on a full-day game drive on quiet tracks, searching for elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffalo, impalas, warthogs, and lions. Tarangire is also a paradise for birdwatchers, with more than 500 recorded species, including colorful lovebirds, hornbills, and the huge ostrich.

In the off-peak months, the park’s green landscapes, newborn animals, and migratory birds make it especially beautiful for photography. Enjoy a picnic lunch in the park with a view over the plains. In the late afternoon, leave the park and continue to your overnight lodge or tented camp near Lake Manyara, where you can relax, have dinner, and rest.

Day 2: Lake Manyara National Park

After breakfast, drive to Lake Manyara National Park, a compact and scenic park that sits between the dramatic Rift Valley escarpment and a shallow alkaline lake. Start in the lush groundwater forest, where large troops of olive baboons and blue monkeys live among tall mahogany and fig trees, and where you may see bushbucks and many forest birds.

Then, drive along the lakeshore and open grasslands to look for hippos, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, and wildebeest. Birdlife is a highlight: flamingos, pelicans, storks, and many other water birds can often be seen when water levels allow. Lake Manyara is also known for its tree-climbing lions, which are sometimes seen resting in the acacia trees, although sightings cannot be guaranteed.

After a lunch break, start the drive back and get dropped off at your hotel in Arusha or Moshi in the late afternoon.
