After enjoying your breakfast at your hotel/lodge, we'll set off for Tarangire National Park. The park derives its name from the Tarangire River, the primary water source for wildlife during the dry season. The landscape boasts dense vegetation including elephant grass, acacia woodlands, and lush groundwater forests. Tarangire is renowned for its elephant families, often seen gathering by the river alongside giraffes, antelopes, waterbucks, zebras, wildebeests, and buffalos. The park also features golden savannah dotted with acacia, baobab, and sausage trees. Bird enthusiasts will delight in spotting

over 400 bird species, ranging from birds of prey to smaller varieties.

We'll embark on a game drive, exploring the diverse habitats and seeking out wildlife until the late afternoon. Later, we'll drive to your accommodation within the park where you can rest and enjoy dinner. As night falls, we'll venture out for a night game drive, offering the chance to spot nocturnal animals including big cats and herbivores.
