Arusha To Tarangire National Park

This is the first day to enjoy in the bush. The park is named after the Tarangire River which runs through it.

This ‘river of warthogs’ is the only source of water for wildlife in the region during the dry season. The park is well known for its elephant families, which can often be seen congregating by the river. You may also see giraffes, bushbucks, and hartebeests.

These animals are closely followed by a range of predators, including lions and leopards. There are more breeding species of birds found in Tarangire than anywhere else on the planet! The huge and ancient baobab trees can be seen here.
Some of them are said to have lived for more than a thousand years. Lunch will be at a picnic site inside the park.
