Tarangire National Park

After a very delicious breakfast, you now start a game drive in Tarangire National Park. If you've never been to Tarangire (and even if you have), you're going to love it. Tarangire is teeming with giants: baobab trees throughout the park, and elephants—lots of elephants. But that's just the beginning. Among the big cats, you'll likely see lions, but also cheetahs and leopards. Wildebeest, giraffes, hippos, buffalo, and zebras are also guaranteed. The backdrop is one of the most beautiful in northern Tanzania, with an unforgettable mix of riverine forests, open plains, and rolling hills. And there are a few viewpoints to truly take your breath away.

Deep within the crater, explore a lost world, preserved in a state of absolute isolation, home to lions and hyenas, elephants and black rhinos, flamingos and golden jackals. There are also forests, lakes teeming with hippos, a salt marsh, and hyena dens, and you will never lose the feeling of being in a safari park where everything is wild.
