For Real Adventure
Day 1: Arusha - Tarangire National Park
Pick-up will be at 7:30am from Arusha by African Overland, followed by a drive to Tarangire National Park with picnic lunch provided. You will enjoy a full-day game drive exploring this beautiful park, the sixth largest national park in Tanzania, located in the Manyara Region. The park takes its name from the Tarangire River, which is the main source of fresh water for wildlife during the dry season.
The Tarangire Ecosystem is famous for its seasonal migration of wildebeest and zebras, where thousands of animals gather during the dry months from June to November. The park is especially known for its large elephant populations and iconic baobab trees. Visitors can also expect to see zebras, wildebeest, buffalo, giraffes, waterbuck, dik-dik, impala, eland, Grant’s gazelle, vervet monkeys, baboons, and more. In the evening, you will proceed to a campsite for dinner and overnight stay.
