Pickup from your hotel in Arusha (or Kilimanjaro Airport) in the morning. Drive ~2 hours to Tarangire National Park. Enjoy a full day of game viewing with a picnic lunch. Tarangire is famous for its huge elephant populations (especially June–October), baobab forests, ancient riverbeds, and diverse wildlife including lions, leopards, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, and over 550 bird species. In the late afternoon, drive to your lodge in Karatu or near Ngorongoro for dinner and overnight.
