Day 1

Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park

This is the first day to enjoy in the bush. The park is named after the Tarangire River which runs through it.

This ‘river of warthogs’ is the only source of water for wildlife in the region during the dry season. The park is well known for its elephant families, which can often be seen congregating by the river. You may also see giraffes, bushbucks, and hartebeests.

These animals are closely followed by a range of predators, including lions and leopards. There are more breeding species of birds found in Tarangire than anywhere else on the planet! The huge and ancient baobab trees can be seen here.
Some of them are said to have lived for more than a thousand years. Lunch will be at a picnic site inside the park.

After your game drive, you will be dropped off at the hotel in Karatu for dinner and an overnight.

Day 7

Lake Manyara

Lake Manyara

You will meet your professional tour guide/driver in the morning again, who will travel with you to the Lake Manyara National Park. This impressive park is one of Tanzania’s most dramatically located wildlife areas, consisting of a massive but shallow soda lake (covering two-thirds of the park) at the foot of the Great Rift Valley’s western escarpment.

The park’s varied habitat attracts a wide variety of animals, including one of Africa’s largest concentrations of elephants, Manyara’s famous tree-climbing lions, as well as large flocks of flamingos attracted by the algae in the lake.

This is the last leg of your safari, with a 4-hour drive left to Arusha. You will be dropped off at your preferred location in Arusha by 6:00 PM. With an incredible experience and loads of memories to cherish, this is the time you bid goodbye to your team.
