  • After breakfast, depart for Tarangire National Park in the Manyara Region. Tarangire is Tanzania’s 6th largest national park and is named after the Tarangire River, which runs through it. The park is especially famous for its large elephant herds and seasonal wildlife concentrations. Despite being drier than the Serengeti, Tarangire features lush vegetation, including acacia woodlands, seasonal swamps, and iconic giant baobab trees that can live for centuries. During the dry season, animals gather around the river, creating exceptional game viewing. Enjoy a full-day game drive before heading to your lodge for dinner and overnight stay.

It is world-famous for the Great Wildebeest Migration, where millions of animals move in search of fresh grazing.

This UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of Africa’s most extraordinary ecosystems, formed millions of years ago by a volcanic eruption.

It is also one of the best places in Africa to spot the endangered black rhino in its natural habitat.
