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

    What is the weather like during a 2-day Tanzania safari in November?

    November usually brings the short rains which turn the dry plains into a lush green landscape. These showers are often brief and happen in the afternoon so they rarely interfere with your morning game drives in Lake Manyara.

    Can we see migratory birds during this short November trip?

    Yes, this month is excellent for birding as Palearctic migrants begin to arrive in the northern circuit. You will see thousands of flamingos at the lake and various exotic species in the Tarangire woodlands during your visit.

    Is it possible to customize the 2-day itinerary to include a walking tour?

    We can certainly alter your schedule to include a nature walk near the park boundaries for a more intimate experience. This allows you to see smaller creatures and plants that are often missed from the safari vehicle.

    What kind of vehicle is used for the game drives in Manyara and Tarangire?

    We provide a specially modified 4x4 Land Cruiser with a pop-up roof for unobstructed wildlife viewing. The vehicle is equipped with a cooler for drinks and charging ports to keep your cameras ready for action.

    Will we see the famous tree-climbing lions during this November visit?

    While these cats are elusive, our experienced guides spend time searching the acacia trees in Manyara where they often lounge. The fresh green growth in November provides a beautiful backdrop for photographing these unique predators.

    What type of meals are provided during this forty-eight hour excursion?

    The package includes all meals featuring delicious picnic lunch boxes served at scenic viewpoints inside the parks. You will also enjoy a hot dinner and breakfast at your selected lodge or tented camp.

    How are the elephant sightings in Tarangire during the short rains?

    Even with the arrival of rain, large elephant herds remain a permanent fixture around the baobab trees of Tarangire. You will have many opportunities to photograph these majestic giants as they graze on the fresh green grass.

    Does the safari include pick-up from my hotel in Arusha?

    complimentary transfers from your Arusha accommodation to ensure a stress-free start to your adventure. At the end of the second day our driver will return you to your preferred location or the airport.

    Is this short trip suitable for families with young children?

    This itinerary is perfect for families because the driving distances between the parks and Arusha are relatively short. Kids will enjoy seeing monkeys in the forest and the wide variety of animals found in the northern parks.

    What should I pack for a November wildlife tour in northern Tanzania?

    It is best to pack lightweight clothing for the day and a waterproof jacket for the occasional afternoon showers. Do not forget a warm sweater for the cooler mornings and a good pair of binoculars for bird spotting.
