The Park is named after the Tarangire River, which provides fresh water to the abundant wildlife here. Known for its elephant migrations, diverse birdlife, and authentic safari atmosphere, Tarangire offers a truly immersive experience. Enjoy a packed lunch during the day and, after the afternoon game drive, head to Africa Safari Lake Manyara.

Lake Natron

This day brings you a road trip through northern Tanzania with the destination Lake Natron. You'll depart from Africa Safari Lake Manyara after breakfast. The drive can take up to 4 hours, and it’s the perfect way to see different sides of Tanzania’s ever-changing landscapes. As you pass the Rift Valley and drive further towards Lake Natron, you will notice the lush green vegetation slowly exchanging for dry, arid, and dusty landscapes. The occasional Maasai villages passed en route become dots in the distant scenery. The further north you reach, the more remains of old volcanoes rise around you. Among them is Ol Doinyo Lengai, meaning ‘Mountain of God’ in the Maasai dialect. This volcano is one of the few that are still active. When you eventually reach Lake Natron, you might perhaps catch its smoke disappearing in the sky. The night is spent in a comfortable bed at Africa Safari Lake Natron.

Flamingo Lake Walk – Road Trip Back to Arusha Area

This morning, put on your walking shoes as a Maasai guide escorts you on a walk around the shores of Lake Natron in search of the lesser flamingo. Lake Natron is the most important and regular breeding site for lesser flamingos in East Africa, and during the breeding season, Lake Natron hosts up to 2.5 million flamingos. The majority of egg-laying and hatching takes place from September to April, although the peak occurs between October & (early) December. The long-legged waterfowl may flourish here, but to most other living creatures, including small birds, these conditions make survival extremely challenging. However, the Lake Flats do provide a variety of habitats for birds that flourish in the alkali oasis. In the mid-morning, check out, and with a packed lunch, you'll begin the journey back to where it all started. Your heart and camera are filled with memories of your African safari adventure.
