DAY 2
Safari Arusha to Tarangire National Park
At 9:00 in the morning, following breakfast, you will be picked up from the hotel. After a quick rundown of what to expect on your Tanzania safari, you will be on your way to Tarangire National Park. Pack a picnic lunch and set out for a full day of game viewing in the park; your hotel will provide the rest.
Tarangire was established in 1999. It is set in the heart of Manyara Country. The park is mostly constructed of low hills on the floor of the Great Rift Valley and follows the course of the Tarangire River. It is one of the standout sites of the entire Tanzania safari tour. Acacia forests and African Boabab trees dominate the landscape, with extensive swamps to the south. During the dry season in Tanzania, the river and the marshes draw in a wide variety of wild creatures. One of the greatest concentrations of elephants in Africa is thought to reside in Tarangire National Park. After a long day of exploring, retire to the comfort of Burunge Tented lodge for dinner and the night.

Northern Serengeti is still largely uncharted territory, despite its stunning scenery and rich wildlife. During the dry season, the vast herds of migrating wildebeest and zebra are the area’s biggest draw. In addition to its human inhabitants, the North Serengeti is home to a wide variety of native animals, namely, lions, elephants, hippos, giraffes, crocodiles, and even the endangered orbit antelope.
After a morning game drive, stop by the visitor center near the Seronera Lodge and public campsites to learn more about the Serengeti. This attractive visitor center features informative displays about local flora and fauna, as well as a gift shop where guests may purchase maps and brochures. Guests can enjoy a variety of amenities, including a shop selling cool drinks and snacks, a picnic space, and an educational trail that winds its way up and around a neighboring kopje. We are going to have a leisurely picnic under the towering acacia trees that shade the center. Game drive in the afternoon. Enjoy delicious meals and a comfortable bed at the Mara Kati Kati Camp.
