About this trip
An African safari is a true adventure — a journey crafted in the tradition of wealthy 13th-century traders who first hunted the plains of Africa for wild game trophies to hang on their walls. Today travelers hunt for photo opportunities instead of occasions to kill, but they encounter the same scenes that have fascinated explorers throughout history: thousands of zebras migrating across emerald grasslands, flocks of florescent flamingos creating a field of color across a shining lake, lions feasting on a hard-earned kill.
If an African safari is on your bucket list, you can book it yourself online or over the phone. Crucial tours offers both tours and safaris to different places in Africa. Watch cheetahs dart across the seemingly endless expanse of the Serengeti. Get a look into the lives of gorillas in the forests of Uganda. Snorkel in the warm waters of the Indian ocean in Zanzibar, and learn about the various tribes and peoples of Africa at a local heritage center during your trip. Before you book your safari to the region, read up on the area and safari trips to choose the best trip for your interests. Whether you’re planning a month-long, multiple-country safari, or a simple, comfortable night in a hand-picked hotel, we’ll take care of you.

This morning of the first day of your 4 day camping safari, you will be collected from your hotel (pick up point) in Arusha and after a short stop at the supermarket to buy any provisions and personal effects, you will depart on a 4×4 safari land cruiser for Tarangire National Park, famous for its large herds of elephants and huge baobab trees. Crossing the Maasai Steppe you will enjoy the beautiful landscape and sights of Maasai villages along the highway. After a short 2 hour drive you will be at the park gate where you will make a brief stop for paper work. After registration at the park gate you will embark on your first game drives straightaway in search of the many animals that Tarangire has to offer. The Tarangire River, a permanent river in this park, is the lifeline that ensures abundance of wildlife, including zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, impalas, gerenuks, olive baboons, water bucks and the big cats (lions, leopards and cheetahs). Tarangire is also a birdwatchers haven with more than 55o bird species recorded, including the rare species like the Ashy starlings.
