Private Day Trip to Tarangire National Park from Moshi

Elephant herds, baobab trees, and four big cats in one day

A private day trip from Moshi to Tarangire National Park is a full-day safari with a live guide, hotel pickup and lunch included. The park is smaller than others in the region, which means you see concentrated wildlife (elephants, lions, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras and antelopes) in a short timeframe. The drive from Moshi takes approximately four hours each way.

The experience

The baobab trees are what make Tarangire instantly recognizable, and they frame the landscape as you drive through the park on your day safari. The park is known for its large elephant herds, and you'll also have a chance to spot lions, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras and various types of antelopes and birds. Because the park is smaller than other reserves in Tanzania, the wildlife concentration means you can see a lot without spending days on the road.

Your private guide speaks English, Spanish, French or German, and the day includes transportation from your hotel in Moshi, bottled water throughout, and lunch. The full journey (drive, safari time and return) takes approximately 12 hours. You'll spend the core of the day inside the park watching animals move through the baobab woodland and along the river valleys where they gather.
