Tarangire National Park Game drives

Meet your English speaking guide at your Hotel in Arusha town at 08:30am and proceed to Tarangire National Park for a full day game drive with picnic lunch.

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 Elephants herds in Africa.

This African 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.

Also you will see many Elephants and Big Baobab trees.

At 06:00am have a breakfast, take your picnic lunch and drive one hour to Ngorongoro, descend over 600 meters into the Ngorongoro crater floor for a 6 hour game viewing.

The Ngorongoro National Park supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque national park, is it’s dense population of predators, which include Lions, Hyenas, Jackals, Cheetahs and the ever-elusive Leopards, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot.

We will visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, which is one of the main features of the crater. A large number of Flamingos, Hippos and other water birds can usually be seen here.
