Manyara to Tarangire National Park

After an early breakfast, proceed for a game drive to Tarangire National Park with a picnic lunch. This national park is home to herds of up to 300 elephants. Watch them scrape the waterless riverbed for alternative streams, while nomadic wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, impala, gazelle, hartebeest and eland mass the lagoons. It's the largest concentration of wildlife outside the Serengeti ecosystem - a smorgasbord for predators and the one place in Tanzania where dry-country antelope such as the stately fringe-eared oryx and peculiar long-necked gerenuk are regularly seen. It is also the only national park that holds the migrants during the dry season and is home to various animal species. After a full-day game drive in Tarangire National Park, we will drive you back for dinner and overnight at Fig Tree campsite and Lodge.
