With nice weather, you will be able to see Mount Kilimanjaro very close. Are you a coffee lover? No trip to Tanzania would be complete without the cultural experience of a coffee tour.

Tarangire National Park Game Drive
Tarangire is famous for its diverse landscape with nine different vegetation zones. The 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 of the park is full of wildlife ranging from a large variety of birds to lions, leopards, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, antelopes, and, of course, elephants.
In fact, the park has the largest concentration of elephants in the whole country and provides unique chances to observe the interaction between elephant families. The lunch area is fascinating, boasting an observatory with amazing views of the river and wildlife (with good chances of seeing a hunt while having your picnic). In the afternoon, you'll still do a game drive before heading to the lodge (around 5 pm to 6 pm is the return time).
