The landscape opens into vast red-soil plains dotted with acacia trees, setting the stage for an exciting day of wildlife exploration. Begin your first game drive across the open savannah, spotting elephants, lions, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, and various antelopes. Visit Aruba Dam, a popular watering hole where elephants bathe, zebras drink, and birds gather. After lunch at a lodge or picnic site, continue with a second game drive to explore more of the park. As the sun sets, you depart for Taita Hills, arriving at a lodge or camp surrounded by scenic hills for dinner and an overnight stay.
