You’ll depart from Arusha after breakfast for the approximately two hour drive to Tarangire. Once you’ve entered Tarangire, you’ll begin your game drive across a rich vista of endless golden Savannah that surrounds the Tarangire River. The river itself runs throughout the year and is a vital source of water for the animals of the region during the dry season. Lined with acacia and Baobab trees, the river is regularly visited by the park’s large elephant population as well as other herbivores such as zebras and antelopes. A picnic lunch with a view of the river is a great way to take it all in, but you’ll have to keep on your toes as the local monkey population does its best to separate you from your lunch! Driving through the park you’ll also have the opportunity to see lions, leopards, Cape buffalo, and a huge variety of antelopes. After your day’s drive is done, you’ll retire to your accommodation for the evening.
