2 Days Tanzania Safari from Kenya to Lake Manyara and Tarangire

Yes, you can easily cross from Nairobi to Arusha via the Namanga border post to begin your wildlife adventure. Our team will meet you at the border or in Arusha town to transfer you to Tarangire for your first afternoon game drive.

Flying from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport to Kilimanjaro International Airport is the fastest way to maximize your time in the parks. This allows you to avoid the long drive and start exploring the baobab forests of Tarangire by midday.

While Amboseli is famous for its elephants, Tarangire offers a much higher density of these giants amidst ancient baobab trees that are unique to this region. Lake Manyara provides a lush groundwater forest and tree climbing lions which offer a distinct contrast to the open plains of the Maasai Mara.

Most travelers will require a separate tourist visa for Tanzania even if they already hold a Kenyan visa. You can apply for an e-visa online in advance or obtain one at the border to ensure a smooth transition between the two countries.

We utilize heavy duty 4x4 Land Cruisers with pop up roofs designed for optimal wildlife viewing and photography. Each vehicle is equipped with a cooler box for drinks, charging points for your devices, and high quality binoculars for spotting distant animals.

It is very easy to add a cultural stop at a Maasai boma located between the two parks on the second day. This allows you to learn about traditional life and beadwork without sacrificing too much time from your wildlife viewing schedule.

Pack lightweight clothing for the sunny days but include a warm layer for the cooler nights in the northern highlands. It is a good idea to bring your yellow fever vaccination card as it is often checked when crossing from Kenya into Tanzania.

The package covers full board meals starting from lunch on the first day to lunch on the second day. We provide tasty picnic lunch boxes to enjoy at designated sites inside the parks so you can stay close to the action.

You can choose between luxury lodges with swimming pools or intimate tented camps that bring you closer to the sounds of the African night. Most accommodations are located near the park gates to minimize travel time and maximize your early morning game drives.

We offer flexible drop off services at either Kilimanjaro Airport for your flight back or at the Namanga border for your return to Nairobi. Our driver will ensure you arrive on time for your scheduled departure or transfer back to Kenya.
