- Day 1 - Arusha to Tarangire National ParkYou'll be picked up from your Arusha hotel then take a 2-hour drive to Tarangire National Park. You will have a full-day game drive inside this park and have your hot lunch inside the park. Later, you will drive to Mto wa Mbu for dinner and your overnight stay. This national park has herds of up to 300 elephants scraping the waterless river bed for alternative streams, while nomadic wildebeests, zebras, buffalos, impalas, gazelles, hartebeests, and elands mass at the decreased lagoons. It has the most concentration of wildlife outside the Serengeti ecosystem, a smorgasbord for predators. It's also the one place in Tanzania where dry-country antelope such as the stately fringe-eared oryx and peculiar long-necked gerenuk are regularly practical. Additionally, it is the only national park that holds the migrants during the dry season and welcomes home different species of animals.
