Lake Manyara National Park to Arusha

Lake Manyara National Park to Arusha

Program: After breakfast, we head to Tarangire National Park for a game drive. The park runs along the line of the Tarangire River and is mainly made up of low-lying hills on the Great Rift Valley floor. Its natural vegetation consists of acacia woodland and giant African baobab trees, with huge swamp areas in the south. The river and the swamps are a magnet for wild animals during Tanzania’s dry season.

Tarangire National Park is reputed to contain some of the largest elephant herds in Africa. This African national park is also home to three rare species of animals: the greater kudu, the fringe-eared oryx, and a few ashy starlings. We return to the picnic site for lunch.

Once we finish the game drive, we will drive back to Arusha Airport or Kilimanjaro International Airport for your air transfer. Drop-off at the airport marks the end of our safari.
