Day 1

Let’s go - Enjoy a Game Drive in Tarangire National Park

Let’s go - Enjoy a Game Drive in Tarangire National Park

Your driver will pick you up from Arusha, and then you will head to Tarangire National Park for a safari game drive. The hilly savannah, together with the Tarangire River, makes this the favourite park for large herds of elephants. During the dry season (June to October), the Tarangire River is the only water source available, making it a popular spot not just for the elephants but also for a variety of small hoofed animals and an abundance of birdlife. Lions, warthogs, giraffes, zebra and monkeys roam the park, waiting for the ‘perfect picture’ opportunity! The night is spent at Africa Safari Rift Valley.

Main Destination:
Tarangire National Park
Best Time To Visit July to November (Animals come to the Tarangire River)
High Season June to October (The park is full of visitors)

Day 2

Explore the Lounging Lions at Lake Manyara National Park

Explore the Lounging Lions at Lake Manyara National Park

Enjoy a safari game drive at Lake Manyara National Park from south to north. It is an underestimated gem as far as game parks are concerned, as it offers an extensive ecological variety in a more condensed area. From the park's entrance, the road winds through a groundwater forest area where baboons can be seen lounging in the trees and hanging out on the roadside. The famous tree-climbing lions inhabit the mahogany and acacia trees, and if you are lucky, you might spot them lazing on a tree branch. As you make your way out of the dense bushland onto the open grassy banks of the lake, you will see wildebeest, giraffe, zebra and large buffalo in abundance, grazing away. Between all this beauty, you have a lunch break at midday, and at the end of the afternoon, you drive to Africa Safari Lake Manyara for dinner and a peaceful sleep with sweet dreams.

Best Time To Visit June to October (Easier to spot animals)

You depart from Africa Safari Lake Manyara after breakfast on a 4-hour drive, the perfect way to see different sides of Tanzania’s ever-changing landscapes.

Once you reach your destination, put on your walking shoes as a Masai guide escorts you on a walk around the shores of Lake Natron in search of the lesser flamingos. Lake Natron is the most important and regular breeding site for lesser flamingos in East Africa, and during the breeding season, Lake Natron hosts up to 2.5 million flamingos!
