DAY 2 ARUSHA · TARANGIRE
Breakfast. Departure in 4X4 vehicle from Arusha and en route to Tarangire. At the beginning the road leads to the west, turning progressively towards the south. Passing south of the Monduli Mountains and east of Lake Manyara, in the eastern branch of the Great Rift Valley. Approximately 3 hours’ journey based on exact departure and arrival points (itinerary details and travel times are subject to road conditions). Discovery of the Tarangire National Park. Former hunting ground declared National Park in 1970, Tarangire is the sixth largest park in the country. His name comes from the Tarangire River which, from south to north, crosses it. With an area of 2,600 square kilometers, it has an astonishing plant diversity (sausage trees, acacia tortellis …) but is especially famous for the huge baobabs that dot its rocky slopes. The park also offers a very diverse fauna. Numerous birds have been found here: black-winged lapwings, African crested, kingfishers, ostriches, Kori bustards, serpentines, marabou storks and vultures. The savannah of Tarangire Park is also home to many animals. Thus, while the park is mainly known for hosting one of the largest concentrations of African elephants, it is also home to many other residents. Impalas, waterbucks, buffaloes, hartebeests, cape elands, kudus or even damans live there. Lions, leopards and cheetahs are also present but are more difficult to see because of the tall grass. Safari in the morning to Tarangire in your vehicle. Picnic lunch in the park. Afternoon safari. Dinner at the lodge. (B/L/D)
