TonightJevas Hotel EncoreLunch & dinner, (Breakfast not included), All drinks, (Except for spirits/liquor)
After an early breakfast at your hotel in Arusha, we depart for Tarangire National Park. Located in the northern circuit of Tanzania, the park is a protected land filled with colossal baobab trees and herds of giant elephants. The name Tarangire originates from the Mbugwe group, whereby "tara" means river and "ngire" means warthog. Therefore, it is the "river of warthogs". Animals found in Tarangire include lions, leopards, hippos, zebras, antelopes, gazelles, and other animals grazing in the park. Beautiful giraffes are seen picking at the tall, thorny trees alongside buffalos and wildebeests. Birds like crested francolins, yellow-necked sparrows, and steppe eagles are among some of the beautiful birds known to peak the interest of dedicated birders. Lunch will be served inside the park, and after further game viewing, we will drive to your lodge for dinner and overnight.

It spans an impressive area of approximately 14,763 square kilometers, making it larger than the state of Connecticut! This park is one of the most remarkable national parks on the continent. Serengeti is home to all of the Big Five; lions, leopards, buffalos, elephants, and rhinos. You will also encounter predators such as hyenas, wild dogs, and cheetahs roaming the lush savannah. These predators hunt prey, including zebra, eland, and antelope, while majestic giraffes can be seen grazing on the tall acacia trees.

Lunch will be served inside the park, after which we will drive to your accommodation for dinner and a restful evening.
