Arusha/Moshi to Tarangire National Park
- Accommodation: Client's selection of public campsite, tented campsite, or lodges.
After waking up in the morning, a driver from Afro-Vertex Tours and Safaris, a Tanzania tour operator, will pick you up from your hotel and drive you to Tarangire National Park. The Tarangire River, which gives the park its name, is the only source of water for the animals during the dry season.
Enjoy a fantastic landscape dotted with baobabs and tall grasses, with a mixture of vegetation different from the other northern safari parks. Tarangire National Park is famous for its wildlife and birds, with more than 550 bird species, including the yellow-necked turtle dove.
Animals found here include some of the BIG FIVE, as well as others such as Omo, the white giraffe with a genetic condition, elephant, lion, warthog, impala, cheetah, buffalo, and baboons.
After a fantastic full-day excursion in Tarangire National Park, you will drive to Mto wa Mbu, arriving in the late afternoon for dinner and an overnight stay.
