Arusha to Tarangire National Park

In the morning, our driver-guide will pick you up from your hotel in Arusha and start a journey to the "Paradise of Elephants". The park consists of natural vegetation mainly 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 elephant herds in Africa.

Other animals might be seen, including zebra, wildebeest, giraffe, dik-dik, impala, eland, Grant's gazelle, olive baboon and some predators, including lion, caracal and African wild dog. This African national park is also home to 3 rare species of animals: the greater kudu, the fringed-eared oryx, as well as the ashy starling.

We will have a picnic lunch inside Tarangire National Park, then continue enjoying the wildlife diversity. Dinner and our overnight stay are at Highview Hotel.
