We’ll pick you up from the hotel at 8:00 AM and introduce you to your guide before embarking on a 2-hour drive to Tarangire National Park. Tarangire is famous for its ancient baobab trees and boasts the largest elephant population in Tanzania! You'll get up close to these magnificent creatures and observe the dynamics of elephant families. Throughout the game drive, we'll follow reported animal sightings, with plenty of herbivores like giraffes, wildebeest, and zebras to see. Spotting predators such as lions, cheetahs, and leopards can be more challenging. We’ll stop at the river picnic site for a leisurely lunch, where you can enjoy the stunning river views and observe wildlife. Be on the lookout for cheeky monkeys and baboons—they might try to steal your lunch, but they’re harmless! After lunch, we’ll continue our game drive before exiting the park around 5:30 PM and heading to our accommodation at Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.
