Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park

Your tour guide will pick you after breakfast from your hotel to start the 2.5-hour drive towards Tarangire National Park. Named after the life-giving Tarangire River, its waters become a vital source for wildlife during the dry season, aptly earning the river the nickname "river of warthogs."

Witness majestic elephant families congregating by the river, graceful giraffes stretching for leaves, and agile bushbuck and hartebeest navigating the terrain. Be alert for predators like lions and leopards, playing their crucial role in the circle of life.

For birdwatchers, Tarangire boasts the highest concentration of breeding bird species on Earth. Soar alongside the diverse avian life and witness a symphony of colour and song.

The iconic baobab trees: some said to be over 1,000 years old, standing as silent sentinels to the park's rich history.
After a delicious picnic lunch amidst the stunning scenery, we will continue our journey to your accommodation in Karatu.

Ngorongoro is a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for both its geological wonders and its remarkable wildlife. It boasts one of the densest concentrations of large mammals in Africa.

As you descend into the crater, prepare to be surrounded by herds of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles, alongside over 500 species of birds soaring through the skies.
