Departing from Arusha Town early morning
We depart with a Picnic Lunch from the lodge/ hotel to one of the National parks of your choice listed below, for a game drive and return to Arusha Town by dusk.
The Lake Manyara National park is serene and beautiful with main attractions of a rich bird life, tree-climbing lions, its elephants and hippos that you can see at closer range than most other places. Lake Manyara is an alkaline lake and at certain times of the year hosts thousands of flamingos and a diversity of other bird life. Although it is one of the smallest parks, its vegetation is so diverse enabling it to host a variety of wildlife habitats.
Tarangire National Park becomes most active during the dry season between July and November, when large herds of game attracted to the everlasting waters of the Tarangire River make this reserve every bit as appealing as the Serengeti. Tarangire National Park is more densely vegetated than the Serengeti, covered primarily in acacia and mixed woodland including baobab trees and supports similar large mammals to the Serengeti. It is also home to a variety of bird species. Arusha National Park is a petite national park which not only guards Africa’s fifth highest mountain, but it also brags obvious views to the continent’s highest peak, a number of striking lakes, a stunning volcanic crater, a habitat assortment encompassing everything from rain forests to thriving savannah to alpine moor land, as well as a fine variety of great mammals and birds.
