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.
The Tarangire National Park is reputed to contain some of the largest elephant herds in Africa. You will enjoy a picnic lunch inside the park and do two exciting morning and afternoon game drives along the Tarangire River. You'll enjoy a late afternoon drive for relaxation, dinner, and an overnight stay at Ang'ata Tarangire Camp on a full-board basis.

Balloon Safari Serengeti National Park
Serengeti Balloon Safaris: There are no words that can do the experience of floating over the Serengeti justice. Get a bird's-eye view of the park as you rise alongside the sun.
The flight lasts about an hour, after which passengers gather around a table, surrounded by the park’s lush plains, for an “Out of Africa” English-style breakfast and pop up a Champagne to celebrate your experience.
After the balloon safari, you continue with a game drive in the Serengeti. This ancient ecosystem continues to thrive, and wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, and giraffes are often seen grazing in herds. This is one of the best places in the world to spot lions dozing in the shade. Also, leaping after a marked prey or gnawing off a share of their hunt. You stop for a picnic lunch.
