• Day 1

  Arusha - Tarangire National Park (120km - 2 hours)

  Pick up from your hotel in Arusha and drive with your Packed Lunch to Tarangire National Park (2,850 sq km) for full day game drive. Its natural vegetation mainly consists of Acacia woodland and giant African Baobab trees, with huge swamp areas in the south. Herds of up to 300 elephants scratch the dry river bed for underground streams during the dry season, while migratory wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, impala, gazelle, Harte best and eland crowd the shrinking lagoons.

  Its the greatest concentration of wildlife outside the Serengeti ecosystem "a smorgasbord for predators", and the one place in Tanzania where dry-country antelope such as the stately fringe-eared oryx are regularly observed. More ardent bird-lovers might keep an eye open for screeching flocks of the dazzlingly colorful yellow-collared lovebirds, and the somewhat drabber Rufus-tailed weaver and ashy starling – all endemic to the dry Savannah. Dinner and Overnight at Panorama Safari Camp. Meal Plan: {L, D}.

• Day 2

This small park contains five distinct vegetation zone. Thus supporting a large variety of birds and animals.

  Lake Manyara being famous for its large flocks of flamingos, provides the perfect introduction to Tanzania’s birdlife. More than 400 species have been recorded, and even a first-time visitor to Africa might reasonably expect to observe 100 of these in one day.
