Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park
After a safari briefing in the morning and an approximate 2-hour drive, you will arrive at the Tarangire National Park. Giant baobab trees, bush savannah and seasonal marshes add to the wonder of this nature reserve. The Tarangire National Park is considered one of the best places to view elephants up close. The park is also home to buffaloes, zebras and wildebeests which are always closely followed by a range of predators such as lions. Leopards are seen now and then but cheetahs are rarely spotted. From the open roof of the safari jeep, you will be able to absorb the landscape and watch the animals. In the late afternoon, you will leave the park and drive to the lodge for overnight.

Lake Natron
Lake Natron
After breakfast, you'll head to Lake Natron. Just past Mto wa Mbu, you'll leave the asphalted road; along the East African Rift Valley, the drive continues on adventurous slopes. The drive leads past Maasai villages and the holy mountain of the Maasai, the Ol Doinyo Lengai. As soon as the Maasai village, Ngare Sero, comes into sight, it is not too far to the lake. The outlet Lake Natron is the home of a remarkable variety of birds, in particular about 2.5 million dwarf flamingos. The lake serves them as a regular breeding ground. The water is strongly saline and the basis of life for unicellular algae and bacteria, which are responsible for the planar red-brown to the purple-violet colouring of the lake. The area around Lake Natron is one of the most beautiful and unspoilt regions in Africa. You will take a hike to the lake and then you will visit the nearby waterfalls, a true oasis with awesome waters to swim in. You'll spend the night at Maasai Giraffe Eco Lodge at Lake Natron.
