Along with elephants, witness buffalo, lion, wildebeest, zebra, gazelle and many more. Keep an eye out for giant kingfishers, hoopoes, and the white-bellied go-away bird as well! At the end of the tour, our driver will take you back to your hotel in Arusha. (Accommodation on this day is not included.)
My wife and I haven't spent much time in Tanzania, so I picked up this 2-day hike + safari package - and honestly, it was the highlight of our trip. The first day walking the Kilimanjaro Light Trail to reach the Maundi Crater - mind-blowing in a word! And the next day I saw lions, elephants, giraffes in Tarangire National Park in front of my eyes. The guide was very friendly, patient and knowledgeable. Everything is on time and hassle-free. In my opinion, perfect for those who do not want to walk more, or have less time!
