Arusha City to Tarangire National Park

After an early breakfast, we'll depart for Tarangire National Park. 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. In some places, the vegetation is quite dense, including elephant grass and acacia woodlands. The park is well known for its elephant families and the giant baobab trees, which can often be seen congregating by the river. Tarangire is the best place to see these gentle giants in their natural habitat – from the adorable calves to the intimidating bulls. You may also see giraffes, bushbuck, and hartebeest. These animals are closely followed by a range of predators, including lions and leopards. There are more breeding species of birds found in Tarangire National Park than anywhere else on the planet. You'll have a late afternoon drive to the Ngorongoro Highlands for dinner and your overnight stay at Marera Valley Lodge.
