Arusha to Tarangire National Park

After breakfast, your safari guide will collect you from your accommodation and drive you to Tarangire National Park. This natural wonder is named after the Tarangire River that flows through the park and provides the only permanent water for wildlife in the area. The park is famous for its large population of elephants and more than 550 species of birds. These creatures are among the fauna that roam the park's grounds, which are dotted with baobab trees, acacia woodlands, high grasses and seasonal swamps. The Park is also home to buffalo, zebra and wildebeest. These animals are closely followed by a range of predators such as lions and leopards. Absorb the scenic beauty of the landscape and wildlife from an open roof of the vehicle.

The lunch area is fascinating, boasting an observatory with amazing views to the river and wildlife (with good chances of seeing a hunt while having your picnic). In the afternoon we will still do a game drive before continuing to your accommodation.

The seemingly endless grassy plains are host to the famous Great Migration - the largest mass movement of hooved animals on the planet. More than 2 million wildebeest, hundreds thousands of zebras and all kinds of antelopes annually migrate in an endless search for food and water. As for Big Cats and large predators, it's the place of choice to look out for lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, with many television scenes like the famous river crossings having been filmed in this park.
