We’ll pick you up from your hotel, where you'll meet the guide, chef, and fellow travelers before heading out on a 2-hour drive to Tarangire National Park. Known for its stunning and varied landscape, Tarangire is particularly famous for its towering ancient baobab trees and the largest concentration of elephants in the country. The park offers unique opportunities to witness the interactions of elephant families. During our game drive, we’ll explore areas where recent animal sightings have been reported, with a focus on elusive predators like lions, cheetahs, and leopards, though herbivores such as giraffes, wildebeests, and zebras are abundant throughout the park.

After lunch, we’ll continue the game drive and plan to exit the park around 4:30 pm. From there, we’ll head to our campsite accommodation for dinner and a restful night’s sleep.

Foothills of Mountain Kilimanjaro

Today, you’ll take a 40-minute walk to visit the stunning waterfalls. Along the way, your guide will share insights into the culture of the Chagga people, their village life, and the surrounding flora and fauna. The views along the hike are truly breathtaking, and with some luck, you may even catch a glimpse of Mount Kilimanjaro’s summit. Upon reaching the waterfall, you’ll be awestruck by its 80-meter height. The pool at the base is the perfect spot for a refreshing swim, so don’t forget your swimwear!

After soaking in the scenery, you’ll gradually make your way back to Materuni village, where you’ll enjoy a traditional Chagga lunch. You’ll also have the chance to taste the local banana beer—an experience not to be missed!
