Arusha to Tarangire National Park

After breakfast, we will start on our safari from Arusha to Tarangire National Park, a distance of 140km (8:30 am - 10:30 am). Tarangire National Park is famous for its dense wildlife population, which is most spectacular in the dry season between June and September. During this time, thousands of animals like wildebeest, buffalo, and oryx migrate from the dry Maasai steeple to the Tarangire River looking for water. Lions, leopards and other predators follow the herds. Tarangire is home to over 500 varieties of birds. Have lunch and take a late afternoon game-viewing drive, then head to Zion Camp for dinner and overnight.
