Overview
The Elephant Playground,’ as Tarangire is sometimes called, provides a spectacular destination for a memorable day-trip. Huge herds of elephant are a distinctive feature of Tarangire, but the grassland, swamps, and floodplains found here are home to big cats, giraffe, baboons, and hippo – plus many, many more species. Your afternoon game drive will seek out the varied animal and birdlife at Tarangire, a Tanzanian hidden gem before you return to Arusha. Pick you up from your hotel at 7.00 am and after being familiar to the guide & other clients we will drive to Tarangire national park (1.5 hrs/ 2hrs drive) famous for its diverse landscape. The park is known for the abundance of Ancient Baobab trees & having the largest concentration of elephants in the whole country and provides unique chances to observe the interaction between elephant families. We will do a game drive through the park depending on where they are reported sightings of animals (mostly predators, lions, cheetah & leopards as they are harder to spot) as herbivores (giraffes, wildebeest, zebras, etc. are plenty to see through the park.
Later on, will go to the Tarangire river picnic site and enjoy the beautiful view of the river & animals while having lunch, small monkeys & baboons will try to scare you off your lunch but there is nothing to worry about. After lunch will proceed with a game drive and exit the park around 15/16hrs and start the drive to back to Arusha.
