A two-park taster close to Arusha — perfect first safari
A short, affordable taster for travellers with limited time or a long transit in Arusha. Two full days of game drives cover Tarangire's elephant herds and baobab country, then the tree-climbing lions and flamingo shores of Lake Manyara beneath the Rift Valley escarpment. No long drives, no rushing — just the two most accessible and rewarding parks in the north, with comfortable lodge nights between.
Pick-up and a full game drive through baobab country and elephant herds; overnight near the park.
Morning in Tarangire, then drive to Manyara for an afternoon among tree-climbing lions and flamingos.
A relaxed morning and optional canopy walkway, then transfer back to Arusha or JRO.
For June to October and the December holidays we recommend 6 – 9 months ahead, because the best camps sell out. Outside those windows 2 – 3 months is usually enough, and we can often arrange a trip at two weeks' notice.
A 30% deposit confirms your dates and accommodation, with the balance due 30 days before arrival. We accept bank transfer, credit card and secure payment links, all in US dollars.
Yes. Private vehicles mean we set the pace, and we choose family-friendly lodges with pools and interconnecting rooms. For children under six we suggest shorter driving days and parks close to Arusha.
Yellow fever certification is required if you arrive from an endemic country, and anti-malarial prophylaxis is strongly advised. Speak to a travel clinic 6 – 8 weeks before departure.
