We will pick you up from your hotel in Arusha at 8:00am and take you to a very special safari park in Tanzania. Tarangire is famous for its diverse landscape with nine different vegetation zones. The Tarangire safari park is particularly known for the abundance of ancient baobab trees (the largest trees on the continent), which fill the landscape and dwarf the animals next to them. The river in the park is full of wildlife ranging from a large variety of birds to lions, leopards, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, antelopes, and, of course, African elephants. In fact, Tarangire has the largest concentration of elephants in the whole country and provides unique chances to observe the interaction between elephant families. In the afternoon we will still do a game drive before continuing to your accommodation.

Explore the lush groundwater forests, where giant fig and mahogany trees provide a beautiful backdrop for sightings of baboons, blue monkeys, elephants, giraffes, impalas, and large herds of buffalo. Around the lake, you may also see hippos and a variety of waterbirds, including flamingos.

Lake Manyara is particularly famous for its tree-climbing lions and rich birdlife, with species such as the ground hornbill and crested eagle adding to the experience. The combination of wildlife, forest, lake, and dramatic Rift Valley landscapes creates exceptional opportunities for photography.

Continue toward the Serengeti, where the vast savannah unfolds across the horizon, revealing why its name means “endless plains.” Covering approximately 18,000 square kilometers, the Serengeti is home to an extraordinary concentration of wildlife and is the setting for the spectacular Great Wildebeest Migration.

As you enter the park, enjoy an exciting game drive through the endless plains, searching for large herds of wildebeest and zebras, as well as impalas, Thomson’s gazelles, giraffes, buffaloes, and elephants. The Serengeti is also one of Africa’s finest destinations for spotting predators, including lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas.
