Arusha - Tarangire National Park
Your tour starts with the drive to Tarangire, the third-largest national park in northern Tanzania, and a sanctuary for an unusually large elephant population. Majestic baobab trees are an interesting feature of the park, dwarfing the animals that feed beneath them. Animals concentrate along the Tarangire River, which provides the only permanent water supply in the area. There is a great diversity of wildlife, including lion, leopard, cheetah, and up to six thousand elephants. Here, you will depart with a lunchbox from Arusha and enjoy your picnic lunch at the nice picnic site with a lovely view of the Tarangire River. Later on, you'll drive to your lodge, situated outside the park with a fantastic view of Lake Burunge/ Lake Manyara, and some animals as well pass near your room from Tarangire National Park.
