Arusha – Tarangire National Park.
In the morning you will be collected from your hotel in Arusha and travel overland to Tarangire National Park.
At its peak, the density of mammals in Tarangire NP is higher than anywhere else in Tanzania, or almost anywhere on the whole continent of Africa. You can expect to see big herds of elephants and mighty predators such as lions. Tarangire National Park has some of the highest population density of elephants anywhere in Tanzania, and its sparse vegetation, strewn with baobab and acacia trees, makes it a beautiful and special location. Before the rains, droves of gazelle, wildebeest, zebra, and giraffes migrate to Tarangire National Park’s scrub plains where the last grazing land still remains.

Lake Manyara National Park

It covers an area from the north western edge and a large proportion of the lake itself. The lake is the seasonal home to thousands of flamingos, pelicans and more than one hundred other types of birds that also make this lake their home. On the partly forested edges you will find and get a chance to watch the proud elephants with their impressive tusks search for food and go about their daily business. Manyara is not only known for its large flocks of flamingos but also for the elusive tree climbing lions.
