    RELATED FAQS ABOUT 2 Days Tanzania Private Safari to Lake Manyara and Tarangire

    What are the benefits of choosing a private excursion for this two day trip?

    A personal trip allows you to set your own pace and spend as much time as you like watching specific animals. You will have a dedicated vehicle and guide entirely to yourself throughout your time in Lake Manyara and Tarangire. This flexibility is perfect for photographers or families who want a tailored experience without sharing space with strangers.

    What kind of vehicle is provided for our exclusive wildlife tour?

    We provide a well maintained 4x4 safari Land Cruiser equipped with a pop up roof for unobstructed 360 degree views. Each vehicle has comfortable seating, a fridge for cold drinks, and charging ports to keep your cameras ready for the action. Since this is a private journey, you will have plenty of legroom and the best window seats for everyone in your group.

    Can we modify the daily schedule during our 48 hour private journey?

    Absolutely, the main advantage of a non-shared tour is that the itinerary can be adjusted on the fly to suit your interests. If you want to stay longer by the river to watch elephants, your guide will accommodate that request easily. You are the boss of your own schedule, from the time we start in the morning to the time we head back to camp.

    Is there a minimum number of people required for this personalized safari package?

    This package is available for solo travelers, couples, or larger groups of friends and family. Because it is a private arrangement, we do not wait for other people to fill the vehicle before we depart from Arusha. We tailor the logistics and accommodation to perfectly match the size and preferences of your specific party.

    Will our professional driver remain with us for the entire duration of the trip?

    Your dedicated guide will be with you from the moment of pickup until we drop you off at the end of the second day. Having a consistent expert allows you to build a great rapport and receive personalized information about the ecosystems of the northern circuit. They are there to ensure your safety and provide deep insights into the behavior of the animals you encounter.

    How are the dining arrangements handled for a non-shared safari?

    We provide delicious meals that cater specifically to your dietary requirements and preferences. Whether you enjoy a picnic lunch under a baobab tree or a cooked dinner at your lodge, the experience is designed for your comfort. You won't have to coordinate meal times with other groups, giving you a truly intimate dining atmosphere.

    Which animals are we most likely to see during our private time in these two parks?

    Tarangire is world famous for its massive elephant populations and ancient baobab trees that dominate the landscape. In Lake Manyara, you can expect to see large troops of baboons, hippos in the water, and possibly the legendary tree climbing lions. The privacy of your own vehicle means your guide can navigate to the quietest corners of the parks for better sightings.

    Does the private package include airport transfers or hotel pickups?

    Yes, we provide door to door service starting with a pickup from your hotel in Arusha or the airport. At the end of your two day adventure, we will return you to your preferred location or take you back to the airport for your flight. This seamless transportation is part of the premium service we offer for all our personal tours.

    When is the best time to book a private tour to Lake Manyara and Tarangire?

    The dry season between June and October is excellent for seeing large concentrations of wildlife near water sources. However, the green season from November to May offers beautiful scenery and is perfect for birdwatching enthusiasts. Since your trip is private, we can focus on the specific highlights that are most vibrant during the month you choose to visit.

    Is this two day itinerary suitable for a romantic getaway or honeymoon?

    This is one of our most popular choices for couples looking for a romantic and intimate escape in the wild. We can arrange special touches like a private bush dinner or a bottle of wine at sunset to celebrate your special occasion. The privacy of the vehicle and high quality lodges ensure that your honeymoon is both adventurous and relaxing.

    We saw four of the big five in just two days and never felt rushed. The Land Cruiser was very comfortable and the food was delicious at every stop. I would definitely book with this company again for my next African holiday because they paid attention to every detail of our request.

    Amazing Wildlife Adventure

    5/5

    The best safari I have ever been on, especially since we had the whole vehicle to ourselves. The guide was patient and very skilled at finding leopards in the trees. I highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a premium experience in the northern circuit.
