Game Drive at Tarangire National Park
Game Drive at Tarangire National Park
After breakfast, you will be picked up from your accommodation in Arusha or from the airport, and head straight to Tarangire National Park in the Manyara Region. The name of the park originates from the Tarangire River that crosses the park.
Ranking as the 6th largest national park in Tanzania and covering an area of 2,600 square kilometers, it is most popular for its large elephant herds and is usually very dry, in fact, drier than the Serengeti. However, its vegetation is much greener with lots of grass, vast areas with mixed acacia woodlands and some of the wonderful ribbons of the aquatic forest. Also, do not forget about the giant baobab trees that can live up to 600 years, storing between 300 and 900 liters of water.
In the afternoon you will break for lunch. After lunch, the game drive continues until you start driving to your lodge. It is now time to relax, dine, swim and relive the memories you collected during the day.

Game Drive en-route to Serengeti National Park
Game Drive en-route to Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, you will be picked up and depart to Serengeti via the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. On the way, you will enjoy scenic views of Tanzania, hop off the vehicle to view the Ngorongoro Crater and experience the Serengeti plains.
Serengeti National Park is a World Heritage Site teeming with wildlife. Over 2 million ungulates, 4,000 lions, 1,000 leopards, 550 cheetahs and some 500 bird species inhabit an area close to 15,000 square kilometers in size. Today, most visitors come here with one aim alone—to witness millions of wildebeest, zebra, gazelle and eland on a mass trek to quench their thirst for water and to eat fresh grass. During this great cyclical movement, these ungulates move around the ecosystem in a seasonal pattern, defined by rainfall and grass nutrients.
Lunch will be offered on the vehicle during the safari. By late afternoon, you will arrive at your designated lodge to rest, dine and cherish the greatest moments you gathered during the safari.

The magic of Serengeti National Park is not easy to describe in words. Not only seeing, but also hearing the buzz of millions of wildebeest so thick in the air that it vibrates through your entire body. It is something you will try to describe to friends and family, before realizing it’s impossible. Vistas of honey-lit plains at sunset are so beautiful, that it’s worth the trip just to witness this.
You will carry your packed lunch which you will enjoy when making a pit stop in your safari vehicle. After lunch, continue with the game drive. By late afternoon, you will head back to your lodge to rest, dine and cherish the wonderful moments.

Full-day Game Drive in Lake Manyara National Park
After breakfast, you will check out from the lodge and drive to Lake Manyara National Park for a game drive. Lake Manyara National Park is worth a stop in its own right. Its groundwater forests, bush plains, baobab-strewn cliffs, and algae-streaked hot springs offer incredible ecological variety in a small area, rich in wildlife and incredible numbers of birds. Pink flamingos stoop and graze by the thousands, colorful specks against the grey minerals of the lakeshore.
Lake Manyara National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, set in grassland, savannah, woods, mountain scenery, and hot springs. This park is home to flamingos, elephants, tree-climbing lions, buffalos, leopards, gazelles, baboons, hyenas, and many others.
