Day 1
Arusha to Tarangire National Park
Arusha to Tarangire National Park
After a short briefing in the morning in your hotel in Arusha which will be the pickup point, you will head off in the direction of the Tarangire National Park.
The park with its savannah, baobab trees, seasonal swamps, and lagoons is home to huge elephant herds. Animals gather at the life-giving Tarangire River and you should see a selection of mammals ranging from giraffes, bushbucks, and hartebeests to the weird-looking gerenuk and fringe-eared oryx. The park is also home to buffaloes, zebras, and wildebeests which are always closely followed by a range of predators such as lions.
Leopards are seen now and then but cheetahs are rarely spotted. From the open roof of the safari vehicle, you will be able to absorb the landscape and watch the animals. In the late afternoon, you will arrive at the lodge.
