After breakfast, you will be picked up from your accommodation in Arusha and head to Tarangire National Park in the Manyara region. The park's name originates from the Tarangire River, which crosses it.

Ranking as the 6th-largest national park in Tanzania and covering an area of 2,600 square kilometers, it is most famous for its large elephant herds. It 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.

This UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the Seven Wonders of Africa and the most incredible ecosystems on Earth. It was formed millions of years ago in the massive explosion of a volcano. It is 610m deep and covers roughly around 260 sq km. Due to its dense animal population of approximately 25,000, the crater offers the best game viewing of all the parks in Tanzania. In a matter of minutes, you will see wildebeests, zebras, gazelles, elephants, and some of the more than 500 bird species in the area. With some luck, you might catch a glimpse of the endangered black rhino through the grass.

After lunch, you will ascend the crater's steep walls and head to Arusha, where you will be dropped off at the airport or your accommodation.
