Day1 TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK

In the morning pick up from your hotel in Arusha and drive to Tarangire National Park for game drives. The park runs along the line of the Tarangire River and is mainly made up of low-lying hills on the Great Rift Valley floor. Its natural vegetation mainly consists of Acacia woodland and giant African Baobab trees, with huge swamp areas in the south. Both the river and the swamps act like a magnet for wild animals, during Tanzania’s dry season. Tarangire is reputed to contain some of the largest elephant herds in Africa. The sun sucks the moisture from the landscape, baking the earth a dusty red, the withered grass as brittle as straw. This African National Park is also home to three rare species of animals – the Greater Kudu, the Fringed-eared Oryx, as well as a few Ashy Starlings. After a picnic lunch we do an afternoon game drive, where after we continue to Karatu, where you will overnight and enjoy your dinner at Kudu Campsite, where your tent will be put up for the evening.
Day1 LAKE MANYARA NATIONAL PARK

In the early morning, we will continue our safari-journey to Lake Manyara National Park. The park is perhaps best known for its flamingos and pelicans but it is also the home for a few hundred other species of birds; it is therefore a paradise for ornithologists. As well as a great variety of birds, bigger wildlife can also be seen. With a bit of luck you might see elephants in the wooded regions and with even more fortune the tree-climbing lions. Indeed, it was thought for a long time that the Lake Manyara National Park is the only place where lions can be found with this atypical behavior of climbing trees. Baboons and velvet monkeys are also found amongst the forested areas and in the more open spaces, giraffes nibble at the fresh leaves while antelopes browse for tasty shoots. After a picnic lunch, there will be more time for further game and wildlife watching before it is time to head back to Arusha city, where you will be dropped off at your accommodation around dinner time.
