Tarangire National Park

Today you will be picked up from your hotel early morning with picnic lunches and drive to Tarangire National Park for a full day game drive.

Tarangire National Park, a classic Africa of lore with shimmering acacia stands, old baobab trees, and herds of elephant. Elephants scratch the dry riverbed for underground streams, while migratory wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, impala, gazelle, hartebeest and eland crowd the shrinking lagoons. It's the greatest concentration of wildlife outside the Serengeti ecosystem - a smorgasbord for predators.

Late afternoon drive to your lodge in Karatu for hot delicious dinner and overnight.
