Livan Holidays Tours & Safaris · Arusha
Day 01: Arusha - Tarangire National Park
In the morning, you'll begin your safari with a drive to Tarangire National Park. The park, roughly the size of Luxembourg, covers an area of approximately 2,600 km². The landscape of savannah, seasonal swamps, and giant baobab trees is home to Maasai giraffes, buffaloes, hartebeest, eland, fringe-eared oryx, the peculiar long-necked gerenuk, and over 550 bird species. However, it’s the elephants that Tarangire is most famous for, and the park, where herds of up to 300 animals roam, is likely one of the best places in East Africa to see them and get close to these majestic creatures. After an extended game drive, you'll arrive at a campsite within the park, where you'll spend the night in a tent. Lunch; Dinner
Day 02: Tarangire National Park - Lake Manyara National Park
After breakfast, you'll drive to the smaller Lake Manyara National Park. The park is renowned for its over 400 bird species, primate-filled forests, and grassy plains. A significant portion of the park is covered by the alkaline Lake Manyara, which hosts colonies of flamingos and other waterbirds. Besides elephants, you may also spot giraffes, hippos, wildebeests, impalas, and bustling groups of noisy monkeys and baboons in the forests near the lake. In the afternoon, after an extensive game drive, you'll travel to the small multicultural village of Mto wa Mbu, located on the outskirts of Lake Manyara National Park. You'll camp at a site where you can unwind by the pool.
