This 2-day Tarangire Safari is a short yet immersive wildlife escape, ideal for travelers with limited time who want a true safari experience with an unforgettable hot air balloon ride.

Tarangire is known for its massive elephant herds, ancient baobab trees, and rich wildlife along the Tarangire River. The highlight is the early morning balloon flight, where you’ll float silently above the savannah at sunrise, followed by a bush breakfast under the open sky.

Perfect as a weekend break or an introduction to Tanzania’s wildlife before continuing to other parks.
