Tarangire National Park is a wildlife reservoir undervalued due to its proximity to Serengeti And Ngorongoro National Park. Columns of ancient Baobab trees standing tall and concentration of wildlife in the national park makes it a must visit in your travel bucket list. The bank of Tarangire River that cleaves through it is a site to look out for most animal spotting. The steep river of the dry season with its wide bank lures a wide variety of wildlife, ranging from lions to vibrant species of birds, leopards, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, and antelopes etc. The grassy savannah of Tarangire is often dotted with elephants among the huge baobab trees. These trees are the largest in the whole of the continent. This park is known for having the largest concentration of elephants in the country. You will visit Tarangire on the first day of your tour. We will pick you up at 8 in the morning from your lodge. Your lunch will be an extraordinary affair for your picnic site boasts an amazing view of the riverside and the wildlife grazing on its bank. After lunch, we go for another game drive before heading back to your lodge for dinner and night stay. PS: We may also organize a night game drive inside the park on request.
On the second day of your tour, you will visit Manyara National Park. We will pick you up from your lodge early in the morning and journey through the Great Rift Valley to reach our destination.

A bike tour or a boat excursion can be on the table during the day if circumstances are suitable. We return to the camp for dinner in the afternoon.
After an early breakfast, we head towards the Serengeti. The drive itself, although long, is worth all the time in the world. We will drive up the crater highlands; stop at the rim a bit for a view of Ngorongoro Crater from the heights. The scene in front of you will be ethereal and something one will always remember, we promise. Serengeti, in the local tongue, means ‘endless plains’. As one nears the park, the whole world looks like it is covered in soft meadows. The calmness and the serenity are incomparable to anything else. The park is home to 2 million wildebeests, hundreds and thousands of zebras and all kinds of antelopes including the abundant impalas and Thomson's gazelle. It’s the place to look out for lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas. Our only advice, keep your camera handy and the shutter open in the afternoon drive after we reach Serengeti. We head back to your camp for dinner and night stay after the day’s game drive.
