Day 1: Arusha To Tarangire National Park
On the first day of your journey, we’ll commence by picking you up from your Arusha hotel at 8am. Our destination is the remarkable Tarangire National Park, celebrated for its diverse landscapes encompassing nine distinct vegetation zones. This park is particularly renowned for the prevalence of majestic Ancient Baobab trees, which tower over the landscape and provide a striking contrast to the wildlife.
As you venture along the park’s meandering river, you’ll encounter a wide array of wildlife, ranging from an impressive variety of bird species to the regal presence of lions, leopards, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, antelopes, and, of course, elephants. In fact, Tarangire boasts the highest concentration of elephants in the entire country, affording you exceptional opportunities to observe the intricate dynamics within elephant families. In the afternoon, we’ll embark on another game drive before proceeding to your lodging.
Following this, you’ll embark on a picturesque journey across the Great Rift Valley to Lake Manyara National Park, renowned for its iconic tree-climbing lions. Upon arrival, you’ll check in at your accommodation, where you’ll enjoy dinner and spend the night.
Day 2: Africa Safari Lake Manyara
The second day begins with a morning game drive in the captivating Lake Manyara National Park. Despite its modest size (205 square miles), the park boasts awe-inspiring scenery and is famous for its lush acacia forests, towering fig and mahogany trees, and a thriving population of baboons and blue monkeys.
Lake Manyara’s permanent residents include giraffes, elephants, impalas, and a considerable number of buffaloes. The lake itself is a haven for numerous hippos. Notable features of this park include the enigmatic tree-climbing lions, flamingos adorning the lakeshore, as well as the Ground Hornbill and the Crested Eagle.
Words alone cannot capture the breathtaking landscapes of Lake Manyara, and the game drives along the lake offer exceptional photo opportunities with giraffes and buffaloes in the foreground, and the lake with its flamingos in the backdrop. After a satisfying lunch, there will be time for a brief game drive before we commence our return journey to Arusha. Our estimated return to Arusha is around 5pm, although we are adaptable to accommodate specific requirements, such as catching a flight or other unforeseen circumstances.
