We'll pick you up from your Arusha hotel and embark on a two-hour drive to Tarangire National Park. Witness the landscape transform from Arusha's urban surroundings to vast plains and charming Maasai villages along the way.
Once inside the park, you'll marvel at the Tarangire River's banks adorned with acacia and baobab trees, where wildlife roams freely throughout the day. In the dry season, the park becomes a haven for thousands of animals migrating from the Maasai steppe in search of water, offering sightings of numerous species in a short span of time. Among the park's highlights are endangered species like the greater kudu, fringe-eared oryx, and ashy starling.
Savor a picnic lunch at one of the park's scenic picnic areas, but be wary of the mischievous local monkey population eyeing your food!
As the afternoon wanes, we'll journey back to Arusha.
