DAY 1: ARUSHA - TARANGIRE
Your journey begins with a pick-up in Arusha, followed by a transfer to the Tarangire National Park. After a satisfying breakfast, you will be welcomed by our knowledgeable tour guide and driver. They will provide a brief but informative safari overview. From there, we venture eastward, heading to the Tarangire National Park.
This captivating park traces the course of the Tarangire River and predominantly features low-lying hills on the floor of the Great Rift Valley. Its natural landscape is characterized by Acacia woodlands and towering African Baobab trees, complemented by expansive swamp areas in the southern region. These elements, particularly the river and swamps, serve as a magnet for wildlife during Tanzania's dry season.
The Tarangire National Park is renowned for its vast elephant herds, considered some of the largest in Africa. Our day unfolds with a delightful picnic lunch within the park, followed by two thrilling game drives, one in the morning and another in the afternoon, tracing the path along the Tarangire River.
As the late afternoon sets in, we bid farewell to Tarangire and head to Mto wa Mbu, a quaint town known as a souvenir hunter's paradise. Here, you'll encounter a multitude of souvenir vendors eagerly awaiting your visit. Mto wa Mbu is located near Manyara National Park, where we conclude our first day of safari adventure. You'll enjoy dinner and an overnight stay at a prebooked lodge.

LakE MANYARA NATIONAL PARK
Following breakfast, a short 10-minute drive will transport us to the captivating Lake Manyara National Park, nestled in the Great Rift Valley. As we journey, we'll pass through Mto Wa Mbu, an agricultural and fresh produce market town conveniently located at the park's entrance.
Mto Wa Mbu is a haven for souvenir enthusiasts, offering a wide array of wares from thousands of eager salespeople ready to cater to your interests. Our adventure then leads us to the Lake Manyara National Park, dramatically situated at the base of the Great Rift Valley's western escarpment. This park boasts a diverse range of habitats, making it an enticing destination for a variety of wildlife. Notable features include a massive, albeit shallow, soda lake, covering two-thirds of the park, and Africa's densely populated herds of African elephants. The park is also renowned for its famous tree-climbing lions and large flocks of flamingos, attracted to the lake by the presence of algae.
Within the park, we'll savor a delightful picnic lunch to refuel, followed by two exhilarating game drives, one in the morning and another in the afternoon, in pursuit of the tree-climbing lions. As late afternoon descends, we'll make our way back to Arusha from Lake Manyara, concluding our unforgettable safari adventure. You will be comfortably transported to your hotel, marking the end of our tour for the day.
