With Mount Kilimanjaro to the northwest and to the south, the Pare and Usambara Mountains and to the north Kenya’s vast Tsavo National Park making common ground for migratory herds of elephant, Oryx and zebra during the wet season. Together with Tsavo, it forms one of the largest and most important protected ecosystems on earth. Mkomazi National Park stands out from all other national parks as it has a black rhinoceros sanctuary and the captive-breeding program for the African wild dog. Seeing these two unique endangered species is a once in a million adventure together with other species such as giraffe, eland, hartebeest, zebra, buffalo, elephant and the long necked gerenuk. Bird spotting is excellent with more than 450 avian species recorded including endemics such as the cobalt-chested vulturine guinea fowl and other large ground birds such as ostrich, kori bustard, secretary bird and ground hornbill.

Day 2
Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park
On the last day, you'll head into the Tarangire National Park for a game drive. 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. The Tarangire National Park is reputed to contain some of the largest elephant herds in Africa. This 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. You'll eat lunch at a picnic after which you'll continue with the game drive until late evening. Then, you'll head to Arusha/JRO.
