Spend the day in Tarangire National Park, the famous park where Earnest Hemmingway often went on big game hunting safaris. Thankfully, today cameras have replaced the big hunting guns, and you can enjoy the seasonal marshes, endless savannah and beauty of the African wildlife without spoiling it.
The Tarangire National Park has the highest density of elephants in North Tanzania and you can view these animals all year round. The herds often reach an impressive number of 300 animals.
The Tarangire River in the park has water all year round and during the dry season, between July and October, many animals from the surrounding areas come to the river to drink. If you visit the park during the dry season, you will witness an unforgettable natural wonder as you can observe wonderful creatures such as lions, giraffes, buffaloes, wildebeests and zebras as well as various types of antelopes and gazelles. With a little luck, you can also spot a python! This area is during the dry season also a haven for bird watchers with over 550 different species including the Masai Ostrich -the world largest bird.
We will pick you up from your hotel in Arusha drive the 2-3 hours to the park before we start the safari. Enjoy the morning spotting animals and taking in the scenery. Around lunchtime, we will stop at a suitable picnic place before dedicating the afternoon to more wildlife watching. Before sunset, you will be taken back to your hotel in Arusha.
