Tarangire National Park
You'll depart from Arusha after breakfast for the approximately two hour drive to Tarangire National Park. Along the way you'll pass bustling Masai villages and the vast, open plains that have become synonymous with images of Africa. Once you've entered Tarangire, you'll begin your game drive across a rich vista of endless golden Savannah that surrounds the Tarangire River. The river itself runs throughout the year and is a vital source of water for the animals of the region during the dry season, lined with acacia and Baobab trees, the river is regularly visited by the park's large elephant population as well as other herbivores such as zebras and antelopes. A picnic lunch with a view of the river is a great way to take it all in, but you'll have to keep on your toes as the local monkey population does its best to separate you from your lunch! After your day's drive is done, you'll depart to your accommodation for the dinner & night stay.

Lake Manyara National Park
More attractive treats are in store for you. Extending for miles along the emerald base of the gold-flecked Rift Valley escarpment, this park can only be described as an array of vistas. Giraffes that are so dark in coloration, appear black from a distance and the tree-climbing lions roam the savannah plains. Monkeys climb to the canopies of the forest whilst the hippos disguise themselves in the waters of the soda lake. With over four hundred species, Lake Manyara is a birdwatcher delight and attraction. You will discover some of the wildlife including buffalo, zebras, wildebeest, mongoose, klipspringers, and bushbucks. A lovely picnic lunch will be served in the park and after the game drive, we will drive back to Arusha for dinner, celebrations, and overnight or your airport transfer (included).
