Meet your transfer on arrival and settle into your accommodation.
Keep the afternoon free after your flight; your safari briefing covers the route, luggage and the next morning’s departure.

Leave Arusha after breakfast for Tarangire.
Explore riverine tracks and baobab country with a picnic lunch, watching for elephants and the smaller details your guide points out. Continue to the Karatu area before evening.

Enjoy a later breakfast and time at your accommodation.
