2 Days Tanzania Safari in June to Lake Manyara and Tarangire

June marks the beginning of the dry season in Tanzania, so you will experience clear skies and cooler temperatures. It is generally very pleasant for game viewing, though early mornings can be quite chilly. You should bring a warm jacket for the sunrise drives to stay comfortable.

June is a fantastic time as animals begin to migrate into the park seeking the permanent waters of the river. You will likely see large numbers of elephants and various plains game congregating near the water sources. The thinning vegetation also makes it much easier to spot predators like lions.

Because these parks are relatively close to Arusha, a two day journey allows for ample game drive time in each location. You can comfortably explore the diverse habitats ranging from the groundwater forest of Manyara to the baobab savanna of Tarangire. It is a perfect choice for those with a limited schedule.

While these cats are elusive, the drying vegetation in June makes it easier to spot them resting in the acacia trees. Our guides are very experienced at tracking their favorite spots to maximize your viewing opportunities. June is often cited as a great month for these unique sightings.

We use 4x4 Land Cruisers equipped with a pop up roof for unobstructed photography and wildlife watching. The vehicles also feature charging ports for your cameras and a cooler box with bottled water. Each car is maintained to handle the dusty tracks of the Tanzanian bush.

We can easily arrange a visit to the Mto wa Mbu village for a cultural tour or a Maasai boma visit. This is a great way to learn about local traditions between your game drives in the national parks. Such activities add a wonderful human element to your wildlife adventure.

Since it is the cool season, you should pack layers including a warm fleece for the early morning and light clothing for the sunny afternoons. Do not forget your binoculars, sunscreen, and a good hat for the open roof drives. Neutral colors like khaki or beige are best for the bush environment.

The tour includes all meals from lunch on the first day to lunch on the second day. We provide picnic lunch boxes that are enjoyed at scenic sites inside the parks to maximize your time with the animals. Bottled mineral water is also provided in the vehicle throughout the journey.

You can choose between luxury lodges, mid range tented camps, or basic camping depending on your budget. Most accommodations are located near the park gates to ensure early starts for the best game viewing. Each option provides a unique way to experience the sounds of the African night.

We can certainly tailor the game drives to focus more on avian species or specific predators. Our guides are knowledgeable in various fields and will adapt the pace to suit your specific interests. Just let us know your preferences before we head out into the wilderness.
